"The desire to understand and explain the universe is as old as mankind and each break through discovery has led to substantial changes and progress of human civilisation.

Space exploration is not only about science and enabling technology; it is also about political will. The European Union has decided to open a debate on the role of Europe in space exploration endeavours of the 21st century. Space exploration and especially human exploration of the solar system has become a global challenge that needs a global approach. You are very much welcome to be an actor in this debate that will remain a corner stone."
