For many years, a meeting of space flight participants has been held annually in different countries, where various issues are discussed – from purely technical to global issues on saving humanity. Olga Afanasyeva delivered a message to the Сongress of space flight participants with a secret message.
The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) is an international non—profit professional and educational organization that unites cosmonauts and astronauts from all over the world who have completed space flights.
ASE promotes the expansion of international cooperation in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes. For this purpose, annual international congresses are organized to share space flight experience and technical information on space operations, scientific research, mission development and astronaut training. An important topic for discussion is the promotion of awareness about environmental and Earth issues.
Russian cosmonauts are active participants in the Association’s annual events.
The congress was held in Turkey from September 23 to September 25, 2023. Representatives of the Women’s Space Message, represented by Olga Afnasyeva and the famous artist Anna Bykova, met with cosmonaut Valery Tokarev in Star City (Russia) and donated a painting to the Association. Anna depicted a meeting with other worlds in the painting. Anna named her painting “Daoris Spaceship” from the series of works “Greetings from Outer Space”.
Women say that our world has not been explored. We do not know what a person is, what space is, what is around us, what awaits us in the future. We have many years to study everything that surrounds us. It is very likely that we are not alone in the universe and they are sending us a message that we need to protect our spaceship “Earth”, that the world is fragile and it must be protected. Women call for deep thinking about our existence and caring for each other.
