German ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer's Cosmic Kiss mission (Music: All the things you are)

Music: Peter Schilling "All the things you are"
To set the mood for the 'Cosmic Kiss' mission, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has produced a video that shows highlights of Maurer's preparations for his first space mission. He completed his basic training as an ESA astronaut in September 2018 and was nominated for his first ISS mission in December 2020. The video shows a review of the past 18 months of intensive astronaut training. The music is provided by German songwriter, musician and space enthusiast Peter Schilling. DLR and Schilling have previously collaborated on the trailer for the 'horizons' mission of Maurer's German predecessor on the ISS, Alexander Gerst. Schilling's 80s classic 'Major Tom (Coming Home)' accompanied Gerst to the ISS.
For Maurer's mission video, DLR chose the recent song 'All the things you are'. Schilling begins his ballad with the words "A hundred times you've lost the way and faced the world alone, a hundred miles since you’ve been running, a hundred miles out on your own," which is a personal look back at and insight into life. From DLR's point of view, the lyrics, particularly the refrain, "All the things you are and all the things you’ll ever be," reflect the change of perspective that Matthias Maurer as a materials scientist and astronaut will personally experience during his mission in space. At the same time, Maurer is an ambassador for all of us 'astronauts' who must treat our unique and vulnerable 'spaceship Earth' responsibly and conscientiously.
Maurer will live and work in microgravity for six months as a member of ISS Expedition 66. He will be the second ESA and first German astronaut to fly to the Space Station aboard a SpaceX spacecraft of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, after Frenchman Thomas Pesquet. Together with crewmembers Raja Chari (Commander), Thomas Marshburn (Pilot) and Kayla Barron (Mission Specialist) from NASA, he will be involved in many experiments on the ISS as a mission specialist. His daily routine includes helping conduct more than 100 experiments, 36 of them from Germany, until his planned return in mid-April 2022.

Tolle Musik und Wahnsinns Aufnahmen. Wie wunderschön! Ich freue mich so für Matthias Maurer das er endlich dort ist, wo er immer sein wollte. Ich hoffe, es wird bald mal wieder ein bisschen mehr von der Arbeit oben gezeigt. Bisher kam ja noch nicht so viel, was natürlich auch an der Notsituation mit dem Weltraumschrott lag.

@@DLRSpaceAgency what is it really like out there in space? I feel it would be both frightening and exhilarating at the same time. You are so lucky to have these experiences, I think I would go in space if I could.

I watch this video everyday now. It is so beautiful and inspirational to me. It makes me wish I could return to my youth and have the ability to do things like this. To actually be able to go into space would be breathtaking!! A HUGE thank you to all the men and women who are involved with this. Thank you for your bravery, your willingness to move mankind forward in such a positive way.
