With these words NASA has posted this video on YouTube about the achievements obtained during 2015. Needless to emphasize the importance of the New Horizons: the most important space mission of last years. Pluto’s flyby revealed that the long-term space travel are not impossible.

This year the International Space Station celebrated fifteen years of uninterrupted human activity in space: among the protagonists of the year they stand out Scott Kelly and Samantha Cristoforetti.

The discovery of Kepler’s telescope about new exoplanets open a new frontier of space exploration. We hope that 2016 will be an incredible year for science.
