How 2,000 Europeans shaped the future of space exploration
In short: In 2016, the European Space Agency launched a world first to involve the public in high-level orbital planning. This video features astronaut Claudie Haignere providing a unique perspective on Earth from the International Space Station.
The Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe was a landmark event where approximately 2,000 participants discussed the trajectory of ESA missions. By connecting various debate sites via video conferencing, the initiative allowed for a broad democratic input into how space exploration should be prioritized.
The footage provides essential context for these discussions by showing Earth as seen from the International Space Station, offering a visual reminder of the global scale and perspective that informs European space policy.
