Mission 2026 - Hetty Helsmoortel

In 2026, Hetty turned 40: statistically speaking, half a human life. The moment to take stock. Because while she was already building sandcastles and drawing robots as a child, she now wonders if science will remain that loyal ally. What if we look back on 2026 later? Will we be grateful for the medical breakthroughs, or angry because we dawdled? Will that new household robot be a blessing, or just the umpteenth device that we have to descale? And will the wonder about space travel remain intact, now that the moon is becoming increasingly accessible in 2026? In ‘Missie 2026’, Hetty Helsmoortel brings hope, humor, and wonder together. In her own, unique way, she guides you through the most striking scientific events of the year. She sends you home with a head full of new insights and a good dose of appetite for the future. “A full-grown show that sends you into the future with much more knowledge of affairs and a solid straw of hope. Hetty Helsmoortel is firmly on course to become the favorite science comedian.” - Knack Focus “You don't have to be a nerd to find all that fascinating.” - Reaction at the cloakroom
