REFLECTIONS ON THE OCCASION OF APRIL 12 – THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT
Cosmonaut Dumitru-Dorin Prunariu
On the occasion of April 12, designated by the United Nations as the International Day of Human Space Flight, I wish to reflect on the profound significance of this date for all humankind. It marks not only the anniversary of a historic moment but also reaffirms an essential idea: outer space belongs to the common horizon of humanity and compels us to think beyond borders, rivalries, and temporary confrontations.
