Bringing Space and Science stories to audiences of all ages
The Rosetta Mission
Rosetta is probably the most famous mission of the European Space Agency. Its goal was to reach a comet, enter orbit around it, and land a probe on its surface. The journey lasted 10 years and covered billions of kilometres. I was part of the Mission Control Team during the critical launch phases, responsible for the software that sent commands to the spacecraft and received data from it. Discover the importance of human factors in this tale of a "success made in Europe"!
Giving back to Society
Learn the reasons behind my decision to go into early retirement and start a new career/life dedicated to Space and Science for younger generations. When is the moment to step aside and give way, and how to find new energy and happiness in the pursuit of volunteering activities. How we all can get satisfaction by living in a more just society.
Help making new young Europeans
It is through real life stories and examples of successful international cooperation that younger students can understand why it is a big privilege to be European citizens.
It was our parents to start the dream of a United Europe, and with our help maybe it will be our children to complete the job!
