Join the roomEPIC é uma missão de voo espacial tripulado planejada da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA) para a Estação Espacial Internacional (ISS). A missão será realizada a bordo de uma espaçonave Crew Dragon fornecida pela SpaceX no início de 2028. A missão levará um comandante profissional que já voou para a ISS e três astronautas da ESA ou de agências parceiras. A missão EPIC visa permitir que a ESA lidere uma missão tripulada para a ISS a fim de conduzir pesquisas científicas, continuar a utilização europeia da estação e aumentar a experiência operacional da agência em voos espaciais tripulados. A missão também pretende diferir das missões de astronautas privados por ter uma duração mais longa e maior envolvimento da tripulação em atividades de manutenção da ISS, além de experimentos científicos.

“Stories help explain themselves; if you know how something happened, you begin to see why it happened.”
“Isn't it queer: there are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.”
“Any story worth telling relates to real life in some meaningful way. Scifi allows you to tell meaningful stories without seeming too preachy — it adds a metaphorical layer between the story and the real world. Scifi is dismissed as ungrounded fluff, but it's actually the opposite.”
“All Nature's wildness tells the same story: the shocks and outbursts of earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, roaring, thundering waves and floods, the silent uprush of sap in plants, storms of every sort, each and all, are the orderly, beauty-making love-beats of Nature's heart.”
“No story comes from nowhere; new stories are born from old — it is the new combinations that make them new.”
“Whatever life we have experienced, if we can tell our story to someone who listens, we find it easier to deal with our circumstances.”
