A private search to find the first German woman to fly to space now has its two finalists. Die Astronautin (The Female Astronaut) announced Wednesday (April 19) that pilot Nicola Baumann and meteorologist Insa Thiele-Eich, the daughter of astronaut Gerhard Thiele, will train together for a single, privately-financed seat to the International Space Station, aimed to launch by 2020.
