It is difficult not to mention him: Tintin was indeed the first Belgian to walk on the moon! Others have followed in the footsteps of his space adventure. Dirk Frimout in March 1992 and Frank De Winne in October 2002 on the Odissea Mission.
From May to September 2009, the latter will be on board the international space station, which he will command for a month.
A first for a European.
