Now back to the post...

As I said earlier today, the European Space Agency is pursuing an aggressive Space program. Just this afternoon they announced an ESA astronaut will be a part of the International Space Station Expedition 11 crew.

Also just announced, their plans for the next generation of Mars rover--called an Exo-Rover, it will perform a variety of environmental and astrobiological tests as well as attempt to return a soil sample.

Very aggressive plans for the ESA. Let's hope NASA can keep up.
