Breakfast meeting.

Presented by President Obama on Monday Feb 1st, the new roadmap for NASA puts an end to the Constellation program, appeals to the private sector to service the ISS and aims to re-focus the Agency on innovative technology development. Is this new direction a promising one? What possibilities does it open for future cooperation with ESA and European countries, and what could the latter propose?
