The 20 billion euro project, named after the famous Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, is a joint project of the European Union and European Space Agency. The vice president of the European Commission for industry and entrepreneurship calls the launch extraordinary. [Antonio Tajani, EC Vice-President]: "Today will mark an important day in the European space agenda. The launch of the first two Galileo satellites in Kourou is an important event for two reasons; firstly, because this is the start of the Galileo program. Secondly this is the first Russian Soyuz rocket set to launch from Kourou." Galileo will provide European nations with a reliable and highly accurate positioning system. This will enable Europe to operate independently from the Russian GLONASS and the US GPS systems. Patrick Rudloff, Head of EU Affairs at EADS Astrium, says the program is a milestone for European Space policy. [Patrick Rudloff, Head of EU Affairs at EADS Astrium]: "It is a major achievement for the European Space policy. This is the first program with the first satellite, and in addition in the first Soyuz from the European Spaceport of Kourou." Launched from Kourou's European Spaceport onto a 23000 kilometer-high ... From: NTDTV Views: 11 1 ratings Time: 02:06 More in News & Politics

"Florence (Firenze) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. The city is known for its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, For its art and architecture. A center of medieval European trade and finance, The city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. It was under the rule of the Medici family from 1865 to 1870 and was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower (bell tower) of the cathedral. It is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo) After the Cathedral and the Baptistry. The tower leaning to the southeast Began Soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and unstable subsoil allowed the foundation to shift direction. The tower presently leans to the southwest. The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the highest side. Before the restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees. The tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped two cannon balls of different mass from the tower to Demonstrate the the speed of the fall was independent of mass."
