French to English: Deux Traductions par Kenn d'Oudney.

En 2001, dans le désert tchadien, le professeur Michel Brunet et son équipe scientifique font une découverte bouleversante : ils mettent au jour le crâne fossilisé d'un hominidé, c'est-à-dire d'un préhumain, datant de sept millions d'années.
Plus vieux que Lucy
Première surprise : le plupart des savants pensaient que l'origine de l'humanité se trouvait à l'est de l'Afrique. La présence de ce crâne en Afrique centrale est donc déjà, en soi, une petite révolution. Mais comme le rappelle justement le paléoanthropologue Michel Brunet : "En science, la vérité est toujours provisoire."
Tout le monde se souvient encore de Lucy, découverte en 1978 en Ethiopie. Agée de "seulement" trois millions d'années, notre nouvel ancêtre a quatre millions d'années de plus. Baptisé Toumaï, ce qui signifie "espoir de vie", il est la trois cent cinquante millième génération avant la nôtre.

Espace : Ariane 5 place deux satellites européens sur orbite
La fusée Ariane 5, pour son premier lancement de l'année, a placé sur orbite un satellite espagnol de communications militaires, Spainsat, pour l'opérateur espagnol Hisdesat et un satellite de diffusion de radio et de télévision, Hot Bird 7 A, pour l'opérateur européen Eutelsat.
Reporté plusieurs fois pour des problèmes techniques, le 26ème lancement d'une Ariane 5 et le premier de l'année, s'est bien déroulé samedi soir depuis la centre spatial de Kourou en Guyane. La fusée, utilisée dans sa version lourde "dix tonnes", a placé sur orbite deux satellites européens.

Mankind’s Grandfather.
On France 2, the discovery which is shattering theories about our origins.
The skull found has enabled the reconstruction of Toumaï-man.
In 2001, in the Chad desert Professor Michel Brunet and his team of scientists made a staggering discovery: they excavated the fossilised skull of a hominid, i.e. a pre-human dating back 7 million years.
Older than Lucy.
The principal surprise: most experts thought that mankind’s origins were to be found in East Africa. The existence of this skull in Central Africa is therefore already a little revolution in itself. But precisely for this reason, the paleo-anthropologist Michel Brunet pointed out: "In science, truth is always temporary."
Everyone still remembers Lucy, discovered in 1978 in Ethiopia. She was "only" three million years old, our new ancestor is four million years older. Named Toumaï, which means "hope of life", he is from a generation three hundred and fifty thousand before ours.

Space: Ariane 5 puts two European satellites into orbit.
For its first launch of the year, the Ariane 5 rocket has put into orbit a Spanish military communications satellite, Spainsat, for the Spanish agency Hisdesat; and a radio and television broadcast satellite, Hotbird Seven A, for the European operator Eutelsat.
Postponed several times because of technical problems, the twenty-sixth launch of an Ariane 5, and the first of this year, went well on Saturday evening from the Kourou Space Centre in Guiana. The rocket, used in its heavy "ten ton" version, placed two European satellites into orbit.
