A year ago, the German ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer was still on the International Space Station ISS.
Now, together with a small ESA delegation, he is a guest at the World Economic Forum in Davos, promoting space travel and explaining what it can do to protect the planet.
In the FAZ Digitec podcast, Maurer talks about his experiences in space, the view of the blue planet Earth with its wafer-thin atmosphere - and what he brought with him to Davos from these impressions.

It is also about the next manned flight to the moon.
Maurer explains why a gas station for flights to Mars could be built there, which means that in the future it will be possible to carry out research in completely different places on the moon than the Apollo astronauts.
And: How can you become an astronaut?
What does private space flight bring?
Why should European countries continue to invest in space?
Maurer answers these and many other questions in the podcast.
Last but not least, it solves the mystery of whether he was the 12th or 13th German in space.
