TEDxDelft 2013 | TEDxDelft presents…..Tangarine!!

Slide1They say you should always save the good stuff for last…We have surely done that. We are presenting to you nothing less than…..Tangarine! The brothers Sander & Arnout Brinks will be performing at TEDxDelft, October 4th.

Tangarine – aka the hardest working twin in The Netherlands – has captured the attention of many music lovers in The Netherlands and beyond.

Through the times, Mars has had its definite influence in society. It is truly amazing to realize that only in our lifetime, mankind actually reached Mars by robotic missions. Read more…
