confinement. and a new a finance ministers face a seventy eight billion euro bill to bail out that stricken portugal the third country to get a hefty aid package there are signs that europe's stronger economies are growing weary of helping bankrupt nations with concerns that spain's also on the slide. right up next we'll talk to the director general of the european space agency about the continent's space exploration ambitions to stay with us. we. see. they are down think director general of the european space agency great to have you with us today sir all. so how did you become interested in space

. but. i was ten years old once per week was in on. before human when the gathering was launched and and i got my engineering degree good day. number two on the moon although i must say that all my. school was. full of space even and i would never ask myself what to do i was a young space. and they are probably still were. just natural convention card carrying if you were a little boy when he went into open space that was fifty years ago what did he represent to you what do you think of him or said go in for me was was a hero i know you're in my bedroom by your pictures of good girl you know you. get go even this more year than it was a dream i know you was

a lot of my dreams were only returned when he was when they were your. dreams with the movie. the people with only me do they want to. become an astronomer days until part of that point from this thing ventura and even the way you could look. a. number of the space agency which is called the orbit of the space i've done since in the world you're well acquainted. with the preparation process before it is sent into space it's a long and tedious process and when you think of that gary and keep it out for one year and he had no one to tell him how things were in space could you imagine flying into space without someone telling it in france what it's like years i masood you can look can fail to do with a situation fifty years of war from the. look of the

dates which is still the case i must say the one two years ago when the do your be and. for both of us to note so we got the almost ten thousand. applicants and the six there were so good that the. four six thought that there were. there were lot of call debates a book the. process was book of the how you heard that. only one year or for population before we're going to. wait. several years is. the selection and the flight maybe of. which i will risk associated with. this case may be

we have. fifty years. or the rest. and all through because the. more the would get going as the new force like it was just when we first struck and the evil was not so much to work in space often stay for six months which is the case today it was just that the. first consideration what would you say what. information just to hear a pin space agency. saying that. this is the same for all space advances in the world that we space activities of three main objectives the first one is the science in. improving the knowledge improving the ledger of the universe and the solar system and you can wonder why. they follow us

a lot of planet earth is just he's the rate of time a person is just a part of a sort of system which is sort of a part of the us and understanding the sort of system we understand. we have discovered worlds nor. to use a little way now we are using the information in the form of the homes of. the evolution of your environment and playing a challenge. of your moment silencing the world which is made of. the space station you are in. why and as they've looked in the world of. all scientific knowledge. every progress we are making on science is for progress for human the support of the people is that pieces on the planet earth. today there is the.

citizens of the world being able to believe. that it's even leave they don't know that. in paris there is no more need taxi driver on the in the streets of paris they are all using good g.p.s. coming on would be for me to order g four t.v. broadcasting for. communications for the big asian easing the. life on planet earth and the sword. again in the computer. meaning that if you want to work in space we are making the french on planet possible the notion that this is what we are of course but there are some people who are argue that when you see all the power it and starvation on earth it's not worse the cost of the station destry what do you think i've gone through i

think that what space does demonstrate of me the men the men the men message coming from space in. the future on planet earth sees the future there is no individual future in the view of the people on earth has a future without the old those so yes i think the. we have to make sure the trouble is. and i am. on the on that because we are doing it with all the information that we are giving for the agricultural. listen less of your picture would i would put the weather forecast listen this agree culture without the information coming from the form of just taking the space we are looking to manage not you are just tools we have. a need. for clear and information coming from space because from

space this is the only way well the regions. where are the roads which are. the. spots where you can learn. so we are doing a lot obviously we are spending money. we are not keeping the money for all this we are we are giving back to. everyone in the world and. in a way space since the main. commercial of corporation we are we are presenting ninety concrete as a working together forward forward international operation but we are reporting. more on the always russia approach was jump on a little from corporate can with a few african countries and countries we are sure we go with that so yes we are.

spending money but i don't feel that we are spending money for us we are spending money for these and for the stars the corporation says the project has been drastically reduced and actually except for a grant of three projects that had been outlined for the next decade how big of a loss is nasa to the european space agency i think that we are looking as we are approaching within as a since more than thirty years and as a supplement. all of those will. be in the use of from to speak. of. everything usable at the. yes we are living in a kind of a crazy economy crazy says the effect on the investment from growing amount but some governments understanding that we space you are investing in the future so do . we have to make sure the future will be.

done the investing experiences into the future we are working with the. we can barely be a the budget of the situation room i'm sure that. i'm coming to work together as well as we are working in one more with russia because of the year. that would be your from just a symbol of the corporation between your. russian space for years where there are more of humanity than into vision raid into watching the governor's broken due from fear of space but by breaking the fourth year of space he has broken the look of the pundits with the with the fifty years on of human spaceflight. less than ten years of completion of completion was over on the current fourth of july sixth and i. saw in fifty years we have less than ten years of competition and

more than forty years of quite sure that is the reason took to get i feel that we need to get out in the canoe more assumptions of the russians the sinking of the world when you think we're connection a flight to mars we have the look. of one planet. science albeit one field life from the tools and the see that sees the field the paey through with manned space flight but it's not. good thing to mean bottom battle space because us what's the best combustible space on planet earth and and the whole prison conversion trip off of the world they are working together there is no more mission that any people build a space station sounds like on that thank you very much for the.

wealthy british style sunday. night. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report . it didn't start all of a sudden it's a long story of destroying the living under how much out. there are constantly or feels something leaks down here let me get done with it. if you took. every fish in and out of the water and you don't do something about that water living in pallets not protecting the habitat at the fisheries means it's going to

collapse nature's steps by making way for the talks of just this you look around museum and see that all the solar stuff obviously by your most well off and incomes must be high road systems bigger number that's true. and yet billions of dollars oil and gas space. real baby drill. one needs from their new customers and one for my blood pressure will consider potential areas for development and south atlantic and the gulf of mexico. play .
