Belgians in space

Belgium is a small country. Perhaps that is why it dreamed about the stars and the infinity of the universe from an early age. There it could give free rein to its imagination. This first happened in a typically Belgian art form, the comic strip, with the adventures of Tintin. Later, with excellent scientific and technological research throughout the country, Belgium also started to do space travel, to the great admiration of its European partners. But it is mainly in the political sphere that Belgium was able to stir emotions. It is this imagination, part of the collective memory, that this book aims to revive. Whether you believe in space travel or not. Whether you are passionate about space or only have a moderate interest in it, you use applications every day that have been developed for more than 40 years within the framework of European and international cooperation.
