Reacción a "Reactions: ESA selects two new Spanish astronauts"

It is very positive for the Spanish community to have a representation in the ESA astronaut corps, not only because it shows that the ability of our candidates was at the same level as the rest of Europe (congratulations to the University of León), but also because it is inspiring for young students. 

On the other hand, it is hoped that with this new batch, a new phase of ESA in human exploration will begin. Europe should have its own objectives at a level similar to those of China or the USA. Technologically it is technologically capable, and all that is missing is the political push to make it a reality.
