Ils ont déja reçu leur jouets hier matin, quelques photos à suivre. Ils ont de beau locaux, de magnifiques modules à l'échelle 1 et plein de simulateurs.

J'ai enfin terminé les 6 interviews
Voici donc Thomas Pesquet en plus de Samantha Cristoforetti, Luca Parmitano et Alexander Gerst. Timothy Peake et Andreas Mogensen arrivent dès que j'ai compris pourquoi mon logiciel de vidéo leur a coupé la parole lors de mon montage (apparemetn n'aime pas le format MPEG 4). En brut, pas de problèmes, mais comme il y a d'autres questions (vous verrez les questions et les réponses en septembre dès le début de leur entrainement), je ne veux vous montrer que leur réponse à cette question :
Que pouvez vous dire à tous les autres candidats qui n'ont pas été retenus dans cette sélection ?
Je remets donc les réponses des 4 premiers et un petit mot spécial d'encouragement de la part de Michel Tognini (Et T. Peake + A. Mogensen dès que possible)
Le message d'Alexander Gerst
What is your message for the all unlucky candidates who have not selected this time and how keep the motivation for until the next selection
There's a text line in a song from Seal that always fascinated me: "In a sky full of people, there's only some that want to fly, isn't that crazy?". I guess it is indeed crazy to have a unique chance and not to give it a fair try. But you are different.
My message to all you guys is that at the very first of all, you can walk home with your head held high, because unlike many others, you gave your dream a chance to be fulfilled. Even though it did not work out this time (which was a very realistic and likely outcome for myself, too, until Monday), you dared to live your dream and apply, you went trough the effort and expense of getting a medical certificate, you answered long and painful questionnaires, and some of you even went through some of the tough tests (the first of which were the hardest by far). Even though you got not selected in the end, this effort was not futile. In a few years time, looking back on your life, and maybe after seeing a person on Mars, you can tell yourself: I've tried, I was part of it!
Imagine someone who didn't apply (like, unfortunately, some of my friends), arguing that it might be the best job in the world but the chances of success seemed too slim to go through the effort. For me it was always the worst imaginable situation when I'm old, looking back at my life, seeing someone on Mars and thinking: well, I could have possibly been one of them, but I'll never know because I didn't try! You won't have that problem, because you gave your dreams a chance. Whether dreams are fulfilled is not fully in our control, I know that, and I am grateful that I was a lucky one. But that's not the important point - the important point is that you and I tried. I am one of you guys, I was just a little more lucky, that's all!
Now, to a second real important thing. Don't stop trying! I just read an awesome book called "A Man on the moon" by Andrew Chaikin, describing the personal circumstances of the Apollo astronauts. I read in astonishment that some of the astronauts that finally landed on the moon had unsuccessfully applied in several application campaigns before they got finally selected. Several of them even failed the medicals in their first attempts if I remember it right. So, persistence pays! Of course I know that apart from persistence, it also depends on the timing of the next campaign, and I don't know when it will be. But surely it is not out of question that many of you can apply again next time!
In any case I wish you all good luck for the next selection campaign, which will hopefully come soon. I truly hope to eventually become a colleague of many of you guys. From meeting so many excellent and fascinating people during the campaign, I know that this WILL be the case!
And, after all, we shouldn't forget that we (i.e. ALL of us) are the ones carrying the fascination for human space flight out into the public, therefore you create the future of spaceflight as much as the new astronauts do!
All the best, Alex
Voici les 2 dernières interviews (pas de montage, en prise direct... désolé pour le/les bafouillages, mais il a fallu s'y reprendre a plusieurs fois et le lieu n'était pas calme ).
Timothy Peake et Andreas Mogensen

A propos de cette nouvelle sélection, avec les usa, le canada, le japon et l'europe qui vont etre dépendant des Soyouz russes, je suis sceptique sur le fait que tous voleront avant 2020.

Argggg ! à chaque fois que je vois remonter ce sujet, c'est comme un coup de poignard dans le dos.... ou alors je me dis pendant 1 seconde, " Ils ont peut-être repris les dossiers, conscients de leur erreur !!!"
Bref, je me pose une question, nos petits spationautes, sont-ils toujours présent sur le site ??? suis sûr que oui, car à mon avis, on est bien plus rapidement informé ici qu'ils ne doivent l'être à l'ESA....
Si oui, fait-nous un petit coucou discret !!! ça serait cool !!!!
