nous avons fait la même école d’ingénieur isae. il est plus jeune que moi. j’ai ete diplômé en 1992. j’ai aussi ete pilote privé, fait du parachutisme et du planeur à l’école. je vis aujourd’hui aux usa ou j’ai travaillé toute ma carrière dans l’aeronautique commerciale spatiale et militaire. thomas a porté le social média en orbite en nous montrant la vie dans la station internationale et des images extraordinaires de notre planète si chère. il incarne la jeunesse, la passion, la persistance d’aller au bout de ses rêves. il est le renouveau que nous vivons. il est un exemple pour nous tous. ce serait un privilège de le rencontrer en personne.
I have a dream when I was younger: become an astronaut.
I followed a “training ” at the space camp Patrick baudry in Cannes when I was teenager … It was a pleasure to follow the proxima mission trough the publications of Thomas and of course I would be very happy to join you at space Bourget 2017!
Best regards,
Florence
Why humanity does want to go on Mars?
Or who in humanity wants , and for which reason ? Why to spend so much money for space adventure, on studies about human capacity to travel out of earth?
And is it possible ? And evenmore, what is le most’suitable : yo travel towards a empty planet or to find another civilization ? Did we send a strong light signal towards andromede, ? These kind of questions show that everyone is deeply interested by spatial consideration.So am I
Love Space. Followed Thomas Pesquet on social médias. Visited Kennedy Space center Last year.
Would be so happy to go to Space Bourget show…
Pilote privé depuis 1981, mon plus grand plaiisr serait de dialoguer, moi et ma fille (20ans) avec les astronautres du monde entier.
How to do apply for this show? I don’t have any clue. please help me with application form 🙂
Bonjour,
J’ai suivi M. Pesquet, via Facebook, tout au long de sa mission, ayant visité le site de la NASA en Floride ( côté visiteur bien évidemment), autant vous dire que celle ci m’a passionné…
En effet, je serai ravie d’assister à une de ses conférences durant laquelle il partagerait son expérience.
Comment a-t-il vécu cette concrétisation d’un rêve de gosse ? Qu’est ce que cette expérience a apporté de concret à l’ESA et que va t-elle lui apporter pour l’avenir ? Bien évidemment, j’ai encore beaucoup d’autres questions auxquelles je serai ravie d’avoir des réponses. C’est pour cela que je souhaite vivement participer à cette rencontre.
Dans l’espoir d’une réponse favorable.
Spatialement vôtre.
Mlle Poulain
This is incredible! I never in a million years would have known about this if not for sheer happenstance. I really wish the US would have such a transparent space procgram s you now do. I will be looking to this site for my space information going forward! thank you and keep up the great work!
