The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) XXXV Planetary Congress began on Sunday (Sept. 29) and turns through Oct. 6, 20204 in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. From Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers: This year, something unique is going to happen in our country, in the field of space travel. Nearly a hundred astronauts from all over the world are coming to the Netherlands.A historical event. The astronauts catch up with each other and various experts share their knowledge. And young people show how they view the use of space technology for a healthy future of our planet. Innovation, collaboration, science and technology are central during all parts of the conference. I'm really looking forward to it. Let's shape the future together! Group photo taken today, via the European Space Agency:  |

Hoping to visit over the weekend booked three tickets, only one arrived so far...Is there a collective noun for a group/large group of astronauts? |

Google suggests the answer is a "corps" of astronauts, but I would go with a "peck" (ala Max Peck). | |
