was für ein Leben: Weil ihm das Leben als Bankier und Kaufmann nicht mehr behagte, wurde er zum Seefahrer und Abenteurer. Der Lohn: die Unsterblichkeit. Denn Amerika trägt heute den Namen von Amerigo Vespucci und nicht von Kolumbus, dem diese Ehre vielleicht auch zugestanden hätte.

	Armed with two educational experiments during his PromISSe mission, ESA astronaut André Kuipers is inviting students aged 10–14 to share his scientific adventure. André is inviting schools across Europe to learn what is behind seemingly simple phenomena such as convection and foams. Children have the chance to follow the ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ experiments with André as part of the ‘Spaceship Earth’ educational programme. Teachers can order the school kits with the ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ experiments from the PromISSe website: www.esa.int/PromISSe	From: ESA Views: 90 4 ratings

Policy, solutions and funding for new initiatives: ESA is joining forces at two events with decision-makers, universities, industry and users to map how space services can contribute to emerging challenges in the Arctic. At the forefront are climate change, transport safety and security, and sustainable exploitation.

die Debatte um die Energie vom Acker reißt nicht, und das ist auch gut so. Denn “Tank gegen Teller” muss nicht sein: Agrarkraftstoffe der zweiten Generation könnten Klima- und Naturschutz sowie die Ernährungssicherheit miteinander versöhnen – auch mit Hilfe der Gentechnik und neuer Raffinerieverfahren.

Dennoch skeptisch grüßt

“Viele positive Entwicklungen im Internet sind deshalb schwierig auf die “Realworld-Gesellschaft” übertragbar,
weil Software nun mal leichter zu Kopieren und zu verbreiten ist, als Physische Objekte … “

	The 42-piece DSS Aarlanderveen orchestra played an inspiring tribute to André Kuipers at their annual ‘Wish concert’ on 11 February 2012. Each year the orchestra take ‘wish’ requests from Dutch celebrities, but this year the orchestra wanted to perform something very special for Wensconcert 2012, and uniquely decided to dedicate their ‘wish’ spot to André. They chose the Jupiter hymn from Holst’s ‘The Planets’ suite, one of André’s favourite pieces. Afterwards the audience was treated to a message received from the ISS, in which André said: "Oh how nice! I have this music up here with me. I’m very honoured to have such a beautiful piece dedicated to me. Warmest thanks for that." The DSS Aarlanderveen orchestra is based in Aarlanderveen, near Alphen aan den Rijn, in the Netherlands. Leading the orchestra on the night was Danny Oosterman, a well-known Dutch conductor, cornet and trumpet player, and instructor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Utrechts Conservatorium.

	In 1996, Fluitsma & Van Tijn had a massive Number 1 hit in The Netherlands with the song 15 Miljoen Mensen, which is one of André’s favourite songs and on his playlist on the International Space Station. Fluitsma & Van Tijn are a famous Dutch songwriting and producing duo made up of Jochem Fluitsma and Eric van Tijn. Over the years, they have worked withmany Dutch and international artists, including Alain Clark, Mai Tai, René Froger, Montserrat Caballe, Mathilde Santing, André Hazes, Engelbert Humperdinck, Gerard Joling, Guus Meeuwis, Paul de Leeuw, Status Quo and De Kast. When they heard that their song was included in André’s playlist, to be listened to in space, they felt very honoured and sent André this video greeting for his mission blog. Their song 15 Miljoen Mensen will be André’s ‘song of the day’ for a very special date in the Dutch calendar, 30 April, Queen’s Day 2012.	From: ESA Views: 49 0 ratings
