The European Space Agency (ESA) is currently selecting 4 new astronauts. Almost 10 000 people originally registered as astronaut candidates, of which 8413 fulfilled the initial application criteria. Out of 8413, only 918 have been invited over in Hamburg (Germany) for the first batch of tests. ESA gave each of the 918 selectee a special gift box with a DVD of ESA activities and a little book about the 2008 ESA astronaut selection. Now we can see this special gift popping out on eBay. Perhaps some guys got pissed off for being kicked-out of the selection program…come on cheers up guys ! The cube thing was tough huh ?…I know, it was a tricky one  There are currently only 192 remainder candidates. Good luck to you guys and keep us posted.
