Committee on the peaceful uses of outer space

The first artificial earth satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched on 14 October 1957 and proceeded to orbit the Earth blithely unconcerned with the political boundaries below. It was apparent that space activities had international implications. In the United Nations, the question of space activities was first raised in 1957 in the context of the debate on disarmament. In 1958, the ‘Question on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space’ was placed on the agenda of the General Assembly, which adopted a resolution establishing an Ad Hoc Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).     

上海,我的第二个家

在中国的六年让我特别钟爱一个城市——上海。在我看来,上海是我居住和工作过的城市中最有意思的。每天出现眼前,匆匆经过的那些华丽而古老的建筑是我喜欢上海的原因之一。上海在这方面是独一无二的,因为她是世界上拥有艺术设计风格建筑最多的城市,没有任何一个城市可以与她媲美。所以,当你踱步在外滩边或徜徉在那些狭窄的弄堂里时,你会感受到在其他任何一个地方都不能有的特别体验。并且,由于我非常喜欢摄影,这种体验对于我来讲就更为珍贵了。
