La que llora de tanto reir, la que grita para que le hagan caso.Esa que con sus amigas no para de reir,de cantar, de bailar, de hacer la tonta a todas horas.Esa que pone una sonrisa ante los problemas, esa que en los dÃas de lluvia le gusta estar en casa con la familia viendo cientos de peliculas.La que cree en la amistad entre un hombre y una mujer, esa que no se da por vencido, la que intenta luchar por lo que quiere.La que defiende a los suyos ante todo, para la que sus amigos son su vida, sus ganas de vivir.Esa que se inspira y a veces escribe cosas, cosas que a la gente les suele gustar.Esa que intenta mostrar sus sentimientos, la que todo el mundo ve como si fuese rara.Esa que, en ocasiones, se preocupa demasiado por los demás y después ellos no se preocupan tanto por ella.La que intenta ser lo más amable posible, esa que se cansa a veces un poco de las cosas pero que intenta seguir adelante con ellas.La que esta harta de la falsedad, de la hipocresÃa, de la envidia, del rencor...Esa que intenta mejorar dÃa a dÃa, ser mejor persona.La que pasa de los comentarios malos de la gente.La que va por la calle y ve a alguien conocido y le grita hasta que le escuche.Esa que se acuesta en la azotea y mira la forma de las nubes, esa que se pone a mirar fotos para recordar viejos tiempos.La que se aburre en clase y pinta la goma, la mesa, la agenda, el libro,todo.Esa a la que le gusta tumbarse en la playa y escuchar el ruido del mar.A la que le gusta abrazar a sus amigos después de mucho tiempo sin verse, la que en los dÃas solitarios en casa pone música y baila sin parar.La que hace reir a sus abuelos sea como sea porque su risa le da vida, alegrÃa, ganas de seguir luchando.Esa que se pone unos pantalones cortos en pleno invierno.La que es un poco vaga, gansa,pasota... esa a la que le gusta dormir acompañada.La que se pinta la cara simplemente para hacerse fotos, a la que le gusta animar en los partidos de fútbol, esa que todo el mundo le dice que esta loca.La que en dÃas calurosos camina por casa en bikini, esa que se pone muchas pulseras, y zapatillas rotas, y ropa de tio, y esa que es feliz asi como vive, como es y con lo que tiene, gente maravillosa a su al rededor.Si, esa.Esa soy yo.

On 7 October 2018 we opened the doors of ESTEC, our technical heart in the Netherlands, and welcomed more than 7600 people on a day full of activities including meet-and-greet with astronauts, tours around our test rooms, learning about the science in science fiction, and about the activities ESA does in all its establishments around Europe and beyond.

The progress of the East Side Access construction in Long Island City, Queens, as of December 20, 2012.
This photo shows work underway on one of the most challenging parts of the entire project: Excavating a tunnel under Northern Boulevard, while simultaneously supporting the overhead roadway, the overhead underground subway (E/M/R), and the elevated subway (N/Q).
To ensure stability, the tunnel was excavated in seven separate horizontal segments, or “drifts." And because the ground is soft at this site and difficult to control during excavation, it was frozen to allow for increased control and rigidity.
Workers had to drive a new set of foundation pilings into the ground to temporarily support the elevated structure during construction. They then jacked up the line a fraction of an inch to shift the weight to the temporary supports, which you can see in some views running vertically through the newly built tunnel. Those supports will be removed after the weight of the elevated subway is shifted back to the walls of the tunnel, which has been engineered to carry the load.

NASA is gearing up to test a structural representation of the ESA (European Space Agency)-built Service Module for Orion at the agency’s Glenn Research Center Plum Brook Station in Ohio. The test article will be subjected to mechanical and acoustic vibration, pyro-shock, fairing separation and solar array deployment tests at Plum Brook Station’s Space Power Facility, where the liftoff environment the service module will endure can be tested. The adapter that will connect the crew and service module, shown here inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay, is being prepared for shipment to Plum Brook Station from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and will be mated with the ESA Service Module prior to testing. The adapter is expected to be delivered to Ohio in June, followed by ESA’s delivery in October. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
