Leaving for one month

RomeI’ll be away for the next month, travelling throughout Italy and Croatia with my girlfriend. During that time, there won’t be any update of Konquest Online, but you can follow us at 31 jours en Europe, by travel blog. I’ll try to keep it as updated as possible, but it won’t be my primary concern…

Please come over there for the next month, and enjoy the nice views of Italy and Croatia!

PS. This is a delayed post. At the very minute this post appears, our plane is taking off… :)

New Module Ready for International Space Station

Columbus LabThe Columbus laboratory is Europe’s cornerstone contribution to the International Space Station. Final integration has been successfully completed in Bremen. Columbus will be shipped to Cape Canaveral at the end of May, from where it will be flown on a Space Shuttle to the ISS in the second half of 2007.

During its planned 10-year operational lifetime, scientific researchers in Europe, with the help of the astronauts onboard and a Europe-wide support infrastructure on the ground, will be able to conduct a vast programme of experiments in the areas of the life and physical sciences, materials science, fundamental physics and technology research.
