The process of choice diirkise almost one year.

Three from the new astronauts eiai military pilots, a two mechanic and scientist.

the new generation is to participate in programs of missions of ESA in the Moon, but in order to he becomes this the astronauts they will suffer a hard and difficult education.

As declared persons in charge of ESA, in order to they take part in a such mission it will be supposed they can be submitted in scientific discipline and prove remarkable faculties in proportional sectors, having at least thousand hours of flight in planes of high records.

a new method of storage of data in disk, they developed on behalf of Samsung researchers from the University Swinburne of Australia. With the particular technology it be possible will we store 300 times more given ap&amp? #8217? that in the current DVD.

said diskakia &amp? #8220? five diastaseon&amp? #8220? , as they have named him already the researchers use nanotechnology in order to they store the yperogko number of data and already have created a disk with capacity 1. 6 TeraByte, that is to say 1600 GigaByte. In order to becomes more comprehensible the previous number amount roughly with 2000 films, or with 400. 000 songs.

In deed the researchers report that with the particular technology, they can in the next years develop disks that their capacity will touch upon 10 TeraByte. The main problem now is the time that needs in order to it is made and is registered the particular disk, however the researchers works on t o concrete subject so that they decrease him. According to estimates, a such disk will circulate in the market after 5 years.
