BBC : As of today the European Space Agency (ESA) has a new director general—Johann-Dietrich Woerner. He replaces Jean-Jacques Dordain, who had held the position since 2003. Besides continuing ESA’s ongoing programs and projects, such as the Rosetta mission, Woerner says he wants to plan for ESA’s future, what he terms Space 4.0. That future includes the commercialization of space and increased interaction with society. Before assuming the ESA directorship, Woerner served as chief of the executive board of the German Aerospace Center.
