Italian Le avventure nello spazio di Rat-man e Paolo Nespoli
Lo scorso novembre al Lucca Comics and Games 2017 é stato presentato per la prima volta “C’é spazio per tutti”, un albo a fumetti ideato e disegnato da Leo Ortolani con protagonisti il suo famoso personaggio Rat-Man e l’astronauta ESA Paolo Nespoli.
Il fumetto, oggi disponibile in libreria, narra la storia dell’esplorazione spaziale dalle origini ai giorni nostri. Si racconta anche della vita a bordo della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, mettendo al centro della narrazione due personaggi unici: l’astronauta dell’ESA Paolo Nespoli (nel fumetto, rappresentato dal personaggio chiamato “Rover”) e l’incredibile Rat-Man.
Paolo Nespoli, astronauta ESA, sta attualmente vivendo e lavorando a bordo della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale per la missione VITA dell’Agenzia Spaziale Italiana.

English Rat-Man space adventures, with Paolo Nespoli
Last November, at the comic fair in Lucca (Lucca Comics and Games 2017) a comic book featuring ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli was presented for the first time.
The book is the latest by Italian artist Leo Ortolani and it has just been released in Italy with the title is "C'é spazio per tutti" ("There is room/space for everybody").
The project, developed by the Italian Space Agency ASI and ESA in liaison with Panini Comics, is addressed to the younger audience. It gives a glimpse of the space exploration era since the early days and it is based on a story that takes place aboard the Space Station.
