The Franco-Italian Antarctic research base of Concordia sits 1670 km from the South Pole. On the plateau some 3200 m high, the air is so thin that inhabitants live in a permanent state of hypoxia – lack of oxygen. The closest humans are 600 km away at Russia’s Vostok base. Average temperatures range from –30°C in the summer months to –60°C in the winter.
The ‘winterover’ crew who stay during the long cold winter to conduct research do not see the Sun rise above the horizon for four months. The crew learn to cope and live with the threats of cold, darkness, monotony, danger and no possibility of rescue.
Each year, ESA sponsors a research medical doctor for a year to run experiments on the rest of the crew of 15. There are few other places on Earth that resemble the isolation and extreme climate astronauts will endure on other planets – an opportunity for ESA to test technology and learn how humans behave in close quarters.
Research looks into how a multicultural team works together and functions under long, monotonous stress. From flying simulated spacecraft to monitoring sleep and analysing speech patterns with computers, each aspect that could hinder an astronaut far from home is being investigated to prepare for humanity’s exploration beyond Earth.

The Connecticut Science Center is a nine-story museum located on the Connecticut River in Hartford, Connecticut designed by César Pelli & Associates. It opened on June 12, 2009. The building has a total 154,000 square feet (14,300 m2) including 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of interactive exhibits consisting of videos, audios, visuals, tactile components, programs, and live demonstrations.

He's already back on Earth, but I took this picture of Mike doing some science last week because it looked so cool. On the Space Station we have a tight schedule and all of us are always doing different things. Often we don't know exactly what the other person is doing, and it is a testament to the planners at mission control that they ensure we don't get in each other's way all the time. Think of all the constraints, from power, to vibrations, equipment, time and physical space inside the Station, during the week we were 11 of us it was hectic but we also got so much done. Mike was packing the RTPCG-2 experiment for its return to Earth, it involves growing protein crystals in space that are helping researchers identify new ways of making medicine.
Il est déjà de retour sur Terre, mais j'aime bien cette photo de Mike prise la semaine dernière. Je n'avais aucune idée de l'expérience sur laquelle il travaillait : ça reflète bien notre quotidien. À bord de la Station, les plannings sont très serrés et tout le monde s'affaire sans arrêt. Le plus souvent, on ne sait même pas ce que font les autres astronautes. Au centre de contrôle, nos planneurs travaillent durs pour éviter qu'on ait besoin des mêmes équipements ensemble. Et à 11 la semaine dernière, on leur a donné du fil à retordre ! Alimentation électrique, disponibilité des équipements, vibrations ou même simplement le fait d'avoir assez d'espace physique pour travailler : il y a énormément de contraintes à prendre en compte. J'ai fini par lui poser la question : Mike rangeait l'expérience RTPCG-2 avant de la ramener sur Terre. Elle sert à étudie la croissance de cristaux de protéines en impesanteur. À terme, elle devrait aider les chercheurs à découvrir de nouveaux moyens de fabriquer des médicaments.

العلم يبني بيوتا لا عماد لها ** والجهل يهدم بيت العز والكرم
العلم دون دين أعرج، والدين دون علم أعمى.....انيشتاين
with science, everything different..!
Science World at Telus World of Science. One of my favorite spots in Vancouver. Built for Expo '86 Worlds Fair, Science World has seen many changes over the years.
students took part in the Advanced Fire Science Camp and through hands-on experience learned how to work with fire equipment, put out fires, clear rooms, and the importance of staying hydrated at the scene of a fire.
