In 2021, Professor Bigalke applied to become an astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA). Among more than 22,500 qualified applicants, he was among the top 100 candidates in Germany. Even though he did not become an astronaut, space travel and the planets of the solar system have always fascinated and inspired him. This inspired him to expand his previously published books, "The Enigma of the Mars Pyramid" and "The Power of the Venus Temple", into a trilogy with this latest work.
