The Danish-built, homemade rocket Tycho Brahe leaves Copenhagen Harbour towards the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea on August 31 for a test launch, escorted by a submarine also built by Copenhagen Suborbital. The first launch attempt of the rocket built by two Danes failed on Sunday because of a technical glitch, according to Danish media. (AFP/SCANPIX DENMARK/File/Jens Norgaard Larsen)

“Danish astronaut Tycho Brahe.”
I did not realize Tycho Brahe went into space,; after all he died in 1601...
