"Mr President, in relation to the second Alyssandrakis report, I must mention my daughter. When I met her this morning – I did not see her last night for I was here, in this Chamber, speaking on this report – she asked me: “But Daddy, is it true that you want to become an astronaut and go to the moon? That is what they told me when I arrived here this morning.” I had to reply: “Yes, it is true”, for when I took the floor yesterday – and I repeat the request again now – I called for progress to be made in European space research and I mentioned the fact that, in the United States, there was an astronaut, a politician, who went into space at the age of 69, that is when he was a pensioner. I would like there to be a European astronaut, also a politician, who will become an astronaut in 15 years’ time at the age of 69. I therefore put my name forward to become the first European Union astronaut."@en1
