“…Cependant, il apparaît à l'Académie des sciences qu'il faut insister sur la nécessité de faire les efforts nécessaires en termes de moyens humains, financiers et d'évolution des structures, afin que la recherche spatiale européenne puisse conserver sa compétitivité. Le présent rapport constitue une explicitation de la position de l'Académie, qui a entrepris une réflexion sur les recherches scientifiques utilisant les moyens spatiaux, réflexion divisée en deux étapes : - la première partie de cet ouvrage propose une série de recommandations sur l'organisation générale de la recherche spatiale et son financement ; - la seconde partie analyse la recherche spatiale française en dégageant les forces et faiblesses, et en s'appuyant sur des rapports préliminaires par discipline rédigés par les spécialistes impliqués dans ces recherches. …”

“…It has become clear from discussions of the recent high-profile cases of Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and others that there is no clear agreement over what constitutes consent or non-consent and how they are expressed and perceived in sexual situations.
