The first Frenchman in space

In 1982, Jean Loup Chretien became the first French astronaut to travel into space to orbit the Earth to the Soviet space station Salyut 7. Salyut, which means "hello" would be the predecessor of the space station Mir famous, which would mark a record stay in space.

Chretien was not only the first French astronaut, but the first foreigner to participate in the program space of the Soviet Union.Currently Chretien retired engineer, working on new technologies and has brought rave reviews supporting the creation of the Mexican Space Agency, AEXA, joining such an initiative.

There are reasons for the "Higgsteria»

The desire and anxiety to find the Higgs boson is such that whenever there is any indication, however small, that the expected announcement may occur, a wave of unrest goes through the scientific world. The Higgs boson, the particle responsible for all other mass in the Universe, is also one of the major goals of modern physics.

Confirmation of its existence (or not) after 40 years of research will lead to some answers, but mostly many more doubts and questions and, perhaps, a revolution of knowledge. The latest rumors on the subject suggest that the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) can do the expected announcement in early July during the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) held in Melbourne, Australia.
