Ars Ad Astra Video Gallery

The announcement of the selection of the Ars Ad Astra art work to stay on the Mir was
communicated during a live transmission from orbit organized by ESA which
took place as the Mir passed over the Euro Space Center in Transinne,
Belgium on November 30, 1995.
This "link-up" event was attended by most of
the 20 artists.
 

"Many, and some of the most pressing, of our terrestrial problems can be solved only by going into space. Long before it was a vanishing commodity, the wilderness as the preservation of the world was proclaimed by Thoreau. In the new wilderness of the Solar System may lie the future preservation of mankind."
 
Arthur C. Clarke
