Today we performed the 200th spacewalk of the ISS programme! This is an unbelievable milestone, and a testimony to the professionalism of all the teams involved. Peggy and Jack were the EV crew, I was in charge of flying the robotic arm. Things didn’t go exactly as planned, but we overcame the difficulties as a team, with MCC Houston doing a fantastic job guiding us.

Refineries on a worryingly large scale – seen from space our planet is not as big as you imagine when you are a kid

Des terminaux pétroliers aux formes presque inquiétantes… ou l’inquiétude vient-elle des scenarii les plus probables pour l’environnement, si nous ne devenons pas plus raisonnables ?

ESA sent me on two training sessions in Sardinia, a summer survival training with my astronauts classmates and an expedition for CAVES together with Tim Peake, Kanai Norishige, Randy Bresnik and Sergei!

Pas toujours besoin d’aller très loin pour être dépaysé : la méditerranée a son lot d’îles magnifiques : La Sardaigne par exemple. L’ESA m’a envoyé deux fois là-bas… une fois en stage de survie en moyenne montagne, une fois en stage de spé léologie une semaine sous terre. Je ne crois pas y avoir vu la mer… ;)
