In free fall without a net - Cirque du Soleil in space

Canada has currently its first space tourist visiting the space station: the founder of Cirque du Soleil. For someone associated to a circus, Guy Laliberté will hold the record for the longest free fall without a net... yahoo!!

Welcome to my blog ...

"the blog where materials matter". I will use this blog as a bulletin board to post conferences and symposiums and to provide links to associations as well as websites I particularly like or support. I will also report news related to material sciences and sciences in general, and of course, I will share my opinions and my thoughts about material testing. There will also be stuff about space, just because I like space stuff :)

I invite you to contribute to the blog by sharing your thoughts and opinions as well as by submitting news of interests and conferences you would like to see listed.
