Bertrand Piccard continued via his Twitter account: “Andre Borschberg has been working on #Si2 for so long; it is more than natural that he takes the first step for the RTW.”
Bertrand Piccard added via his Twitter account: “Solar Impulse would never exist if I had not met Andre Borschberg.”

FYI: You may want to get your badge for the RTW and gear up at the very cool Solar Impulse Online Store. By proudly wearing the colors of this revolutionary solar aircraft, you will show that you share the vision of Si2 in the power of clean technologies to create a better future!
The Solar Impulse Team along with the Catching Crew have a couple days to relax. You can check out what they’re up to at Solar Team.
