Curiosity fuels discovery. What’s beyond the yard? Around the corner? Across the border? Above the horizon? What’s beyond that?
Brilliant minds from around the world work together to imagine the future. They use science and technology as tools. Obstacles lead to innovation.
But only a select few fly to space. Astronauts.
They are problem solvers. Scientists. They are dedicated. Fearless. When their bodies want to quit, their spirit sets fire to their step. They are determined. Resilient.

Luca Parmitano (ESA Astronaut): “I feel a lot of water on the back of my head.”
