Fellow astronaut Thomas Marshburn added, “Living with so many nationalities up here, we discover that we’re so much more alike than we are different. During holidays, we talk about our families and traditions, and we get together with food and with music, literature. We’re definitely all family.”
The crew went on to discuss how they perceive environmental damage on Earth from space. “The rainforest in Brazil, for example, is getting smaller and smaller. The area where people live that you can see up here, it’s getting bigger and bigger,” ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer shared. “You see flames, and you know people are burning down the rainforest. On the other side of the country, you see rivers being completely flooded and probably lots of villages are taken down, so people suffer.
To wrap up the conversation, Vedder tells the astronauts, “I didn’t realize how emotional this was going to be.
