How 2,000 Europeans shaped the future of space exploration
In short: In a world first, the European Space Agency invited the public to help decide where humanity should go next. This video features astronaut Claudie Haignere providing a unique perspective on Earth from the International Space Station.
On September 10, 2016, approximately 2,000 people participated in the Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe. This initiative allowed the public to discuss and influence the future of ESA space missions across various debate sites connected by video conferencing.
The event marked a significant shift toward inclusive decision-making in aerospace. By integrating public opinion into the strategic planning of space exploration, the agency sought to align its scientific goals with broader societal values.
