The Saturday TVP Polonia interview with Sebastian (link below, Polish language, 35 minutes into the program, some 6 minutes).

Some background info first: the hosting program was not a news program (the way previous TV info on the projects was showing up), it is a regular "magazine" format program, probably aimed at people who actually read something once a while. Well known in Poland.

Talk was rather devoid of hype, with very decent videos of gliders+mountains constantly showing in the background. Sebastian was telling how gliders may naturally extend what is already being done and established in the region as far as aviation sports are concerned. Some technical issues were mentioned/explained. Natural fact of not using engine except for launch (low altitude airfield). Tolerance for higher wind speeds than what is safe (especially close to obstacles) for paragliders, hanggliders and microlights. Resulting possibility of expanding the flight season and climbable altitudes. But also about the remaining hard limits of Himalayan weather.

Nobody is doing any polls here, but anecdotal evidence suggests that the last spate of news had put gliding on the radar for most people here in Poland. We will see.
