From 4 to 10 October 2002, the Education Office of the European Space Agency (ESA) will celebrate World Space Week by giving young Europeans the chance to tell the world their ideas on what daily life on Mars might be like 45 years from now. In 1999, the United Nations declared the week of 4 through 10 October “World Space Week”: 4 October being the celebration of the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, and 10 October the anniversary of the first treaty on space in 1967. A theme is defined every year, on which projects at local, regional, national or international level are developed. This year’s theme will be “Space and daily life.”
