On Tuesday afternoon, Telecinco broadcast live the trip of Jesús Calleja to space with the program New Shepard. The channel organized a special presented by María Casado and the head of news Carlos Franganillo, who seemed not very enthusiastic about his expedition. Among the guests, they were accompanied by Pedro Duque, the former minister and astronaut who seemed to be there more out of obligation than enthusiasm. The broadcast was added to the countdown of the Blue Origin base in western Texas. The official signal of the broadcast was limited to a small box in a corner of the screen, so that the feeling of presence before the great event was lost. The production gave off a lack of interest in Calleja's feat. As if that were not enough, Telecinco was making announcements at the moment when the crew members boarded the space capsule and when they returned, they limited themselves to showing it in a fleeting and very small way, instead of creating expectations and turning it into a heroic moment. Connections with friends and family prevented an atmosphere of excitement that, for their part, no one seemed very willing to externalize.

The official Mediaset adventurer has crossed its furthest frontier. This Tuesday, at half past four in the afternoon, Jesús Calleja took part in the New Sephard flight and crossed the so-called Kármán line, which officially marks the beginning of outer space. The journey lasted eleven minutes and first rose to 76 kilometres of altitude, at which point the capsule separated from the propellant. Then it continued to rise, until reaching 106 kilometres from the surface of the planet. The atmosphere does not have a defined end, but rather it becomes thinner, but it is considered that from that level onwards the terrestrial cover no longer affects aeronautics. After (metaphorically) putting its toes in the cosmos, the ship returned autonomously until making a precision landing on a platform, following a stable free fall process. "It was a dream. It's impressive," were his first words upon leaving, amid tears of emotion. "The Earth is such a beautiful place and the atmosphere is such a fine line..." he added.
