You're a little b**ch you know that? You say that we should share Kopernik. So why did the krauts have to Germanize it totally? I guess you can buy anything in politics. You guys always had more people in Germany to influence Europe. The Polish politicians wanted to keep it in the Latin name Copernicus so it'd be more international. But it was Germanized. This is why Poland will never be real friends with the krauts. There's no point. At least the rest of the world agrees with us. At least the history books won't be changed.
Does anyone know if this name has been officially changed or is the debate still ongoing??
Yup, that's why this uproar about the name of the space program, right? :):):)

And the rest of the world knows he's Polish.
Just save your breath.
And we don't have to change our history books as our children know already that he was German.

Very good point! The Poles are right about being suspicious of Germans trying to have too much control in the E.U. This is what happens.
he studied in Bologna and Padua too. Does that make him Italian

In 1491 he enlisted at Krakow Academy (Jagielonian now). I don't claim to know everything about Kopernik but even if he did have some German education (some believe his mother was German) than so what?? He was Polish through and through and spent his last days in Poland.
The stupid German bastards don't want to let things go. This, German land claims- pretty soon people are gonna think WWII was started by Poland!!!

He has never been known as German. Get that through your head. The German arguments are BS- you know it. You believe your BS cuz you're German. Let's get the Brits to settle this. Answer why nobody else sees him as German???
And he isn't "suddenly" german...just read his bio!

Bratwurst- He was born on Polish territory at that time and what you write about his upbringing and education is just what Germans have taught you. No historian or encyclopedia will tell you that he's German so think about why that is? This is stupid! All of a sudden he's German?? Prove that he wrote his work in German? I suppose you think Auschwitz was Polish?

WARSAW - Poles are up in arms over what they complain is the European Commission's "Germanization" of the name of the father of modern astronomy, Nicolas Copernicus, in the title of an EU space program.
The commission has officially changed the name of the EU's GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) programme to "Kopernikus," the German spelling of Copernicus, at the initiative of Commission Vice President Guenter Verheugen, a German. The Polish spelling is "Kopernik."
