On stage in Bremen astronauts from all over the world will share their views on their unique professional careers with the audience. Can we really go to Moon and Mars faster, better? What role does safety play in private space missions? Are the international crews on ISS a role model for future spaceflights? Tag up with people who have the combined experience of years in space in a fleet of spacecraft vehicles!
