Abstract
Several examples show that there is a lack of proper science communication in Europe. Europe is doing great in astronomy and space flight, but it has a hard time to communicate that. It seems that American scientists are more enthusiastic about communicating their research than most of their European colleagues. The big question is then: Why? Is it a cultural difference? Is it political pressure to get the next project funded by communicating current activities? Is there more staff in public affairs departments in the US than in Europe?
