The Ministers of Space
http://www.euronews.com/ The Italian city of Naples was the dramatic setting for a summit to set Europe’s future in space. From rocket launchers to Mars explorers, everything was under debate – in particular, money. Ministers from the 20 member countries of the European Space Agency, including newcomers Poland, had to decide which projects are funded and how.
The bargaining was intense, according to Genviève Fioraso, French Minister for Higher Education and Research: “Tough! Negotiations are never easy. You don’t have much sleep, there are opposing points of view….even if everything is prepared in advance it’s like we’re starting all over again. But you have to just know that, not sleep for two and a half days, and be persuasive,” she commented.
One of the key areas of debate concerned the future of Ariane. Late night negotiations led to a compromise, with the updated version of the launcher, known as Ariane 5ME, to go ahead, and be ready for lift off in 2017. At the same time initial studies to build Ariane 6, with a modular, flexible design, would be launched.
Some of the most enthusiastic support of space projects came from the British, who are increasing their investment in ESA by 25%. The UK is targeting telecommunications: “quite simply we think the satellite based delivery of television, or broadband services is a growing market, and we want Britain to be at the cutting edge of it”, explained Minister of State for Universities and Science, David Willetts.
But what about the science, amongst all this talk of money and market share? ESA member countries have to fund science, it is non-optional. However the science budget will not budge from its current 508 million euros per year.
The European Space Agency left the Naples summit with the cash and political support for a 10.1 billion euro space programme for the coming few years.

http://www.euronews.com/ Catalans have reacted with surprise but determination to the result of their regional election.
The governing pro-independence CIU party lost 12 seats, while the vote for many smaller pro-independence parties increased.
For some, it is a reflection of the anger felt at the CIU’s austerity policies. But voters seem agreed on one thing, the push for independence from Spain.
“I expected a better result for the CIU,” said one man. “But even with their losses, adding up their votes and those for the ERC, the result is a large majority for the separatists. I think both parties should get together and push through the independence project and create an independent state.”
“It is not really the result we were expecting but it is clear that some of the pro-independence parties have grown a lot.” said another. “Now they must give the people what they want. All the nationalist parties, whether moderates, from the right or the left, all of them must now muck in to build a new state.”
Our correspondent in Barcelona says the CIU’s plans for sovereignty for Catalonia, shaped by Artur Mas, have not been mandated by popular support. The party has fewer seats and needs the support of other political groups to push through its plan to organise a referendum on independence for the region.
