This week, the @LuxSpaceAgency Astronaut for a Day (#AFAD) finalists took a zero-gravity flight! 🧑🚀 16 parabolas, and experiencing weightlessness – what an adventure! Upon return to Luxembourg’s Findel Airport, SES and our very own Xavier Bertran had the privilege to join the ceremony of welcoming the brave teenagers from Luxembourg, Austria and Estonia.
A visionary approach to space and innovation is in Luxembourg’s DNA and SES is happy to support this #LSA initiative that helps nurturing talents in Europe, together with @ClearSpaceToday and @redwire.
The event took place in the presence of the Prime Minister @LucFrieden, Marc Serres, CEO of the Luxembourg Space Agency, Andreas Geisler, Head of Aeronautics and Space Agency at the FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency, and Dr. Karin Proidl, Ambassador of Austria in Luxembourg. Thank you for your continuous support of space initiatives and young talents!
A special thank you to SES’s Space Ambassador Lara Kalanke who proudly wore the exclusive SES flight patch during the flight!
SecGen Marschik at @CoE Ministerial in Luxembourg today: The Council of Europe continues to be the guardian of our democratic security. The launch of the Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine in the @CoE framework is a vital step to ensure accountability!
Simone Veil et Robert Schuman, deux noms qui résonnent, deux pionniers européens qui ont marqué le projet 🇪🇺 à tout jamais
Avec @Xavier_Bettel, j’ai eu l’honneur de participer à l’inauguration de deux salles à l’Ecole Européenne II qui porteront dorénavant leurs noms

After this, my team and I need to go into rehab: 4 days with very very little sleep, far too many statements, moderating panels, and media interviews, and the usual adrenaline rise as we try to accommodate impossible demands by beloved leaders and speakers from around the world.
Cities without water.
Homes without families.
Schools without students.
Patients without medicines.
Hospitals without electricity.
Neighbourhoods without people.
When wars are fought in cities, no-one wins.
