Bogota, Jan 18 (EFE).- Hugo Chávez, Lula da Silva, Evo Morales, Daniel Ortega, Rafael Correa and Fidel Castro are leaders in the history of Latin America who have much in common. They have inspired —and still inspire— thousands of people on the continent. They led what was called the so-called Pink Tide, a historical moment at the beginning of the 21st century where the left ruled in part of Latin America and imposed a new path to the future, moving away from the long shadow of the United States. For Will Grant, a renowned BBC's correspondent in Latin America since 2007, those years, from the rise to power of Chavez in 1999 to the death of Castro in 2016, a new way of doing politics with a strong populist component emerged and its legacy has inspired to leaders as distant and different as Jair Bolsonaro or Donald Trump. This is how Grant reveals it in a voluminous and entertaining book, which has been published in the United Kingdom by the publisher "Head of Zeus" and entitled "Populista! The Rise of Latin America's Twenty-first Century Strongman".SOUNDBITES OF WILL GRANT, BBC'S CORRESPONDENT IN LATIN AMERICA.
Buzz Aldrin: A New "Race for Space" Dr. Buzz Aldrin, the second human to walk on the moon, is a leading advocate of space science and planetary exploration. He is the co-author of several books, including "Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration" and "No Dream Is Too High: Life Lessons From a Man Who Walked on the Moon." He lives in Satellite Beach, Florida. Given President-Elect Trump's interest in putting in place a space council, I envision a more unified approach to shaping and overhauling aspects of America's civil, military, and industrial space sectors. And get ready for intense competition in the development of human spaceflight systems, not only for use in low Earth orbit but also outward from our home planet. This commercial "race for space" will lead to technical and business innovations we don't yet appreciate or understand. I think the year ahead will see Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin group wring out its New Shepard reusable suborbital launch vehicle and press forward on its New Glenn booster. Similarly, Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo will hasten the pace of testing to create suborbital passenger service. And keep an eye on the maiden flights of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and the SpaceX Dragon 2 capsules — stepping stones to restore our nation's capabilities for human spaceflight. I expect Elon Musk and his SpaceX rocketeers will fly their Falcon Heavy launcher from the refurbished Launch Complex 39 pad A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. That's the same site that I rocketed from with my Apollo 11 colleagues, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, to achieve the first human landing on the Moon in July 1969! China is headed for several milestone achievements. For one, they will use their new Long March 5 and Long March 7 boosters to advance their goal of building their own space station. In addition, look for China to fly to the moon the robotic Chang'e 5 spacecraft and attempt the first lunar sample return to Earth in more than 40 years. Lastly, look for surprises from mysterious Mars! Now orbiting the Red Planet is the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter that in 2017 will "sniff out" whether methane detected on that world is a product of Martian microbes. Personally, I'll be working as hard as ever to rally public and political willpower to hasten the day when those first footfalls on the Red Planet lead to permanent inhabitation of Mars.
