This afternoon took place a conference on space at the Vincennes’s floral parc (Paris). This conference was about: The Space Conquest by Mankind - its strength and its limits. It was lead by Patrick Baudry (second French astronaut).
The conference was in 2 parts, in the first time a movie about STS-51-G was screened (commented by Mr Baudry), then the public could ask questions at Mr Baudry about this mission, about space in general and about futur space projects, like moon colonisation. At last an autograph session ended the meeting.
Here is 2 short videos (in French) and some pictures:

The shuttle OK-GLI was transported yesterday (2008-11-06) to the Speyer museum’s hangar. This hangar will welcome in the next months an exhibition about space and space conquest. The shuttle will be assembled there (the wings and vertical stabilizer were removed), then renovated to become the main part of the exhibition.

Early April took place the launch of the Soyuz TMA-12 to the ISS with the first south Korean on-board (Yi So-Yeon). I had the chance to see the launch and visit the buildings and installations of the Baikonur’s cosmodrome (as well as the Stars City).
