Impact announced the release, on Wednesday, November 4, of Allan Petre's first book, *Astro Allan: A Interstellar Odyssey*, published by Albin Michel. The publication presented Petre as an aerospace engineer from Villemomble, Seine-Saint-Denis, who joined NASA at the age of 24. According to Impact, after professors advised him against this path at 17 years old, Petre had continued his project despite four hours of daily transport and a weekend job as a salesperson to finance his studies. He then obtained a double engineering degree and completed an apprenticeship at ArianeGroup before joining NASA. Impact indicated that the book takes the form of a space manga aimed at making space accessible to the greatest number. The publication specified that its cover, excerpts, and messages would be sent to the Moon in 2030, engraved on a sapphire disk as part of the Sanctuary On The Moon project, of which Petre was an ambassador with astronaut Jean-François Clervoy. It also mentioned his participation in the project *The Children of Planet Earth*, carried out with the French National Commission for UNESCO, and stated that his goal was to encourage young people, especially those from underprivileged neighborhoods, to pursue their dreams. #Inspiration #NASA #Rêves (translated)
