NASA has revealed its latest cohort of astronauts. The six men and four women could be picked for upcoming missions to the Moon or Mars.
French astronaut Thomas Pesquet speaks at a press conference in Cologne after returning from six months onboard the International Space Station, saying "the idea is to go back to the moon but in a more sustainable way", and then to "do the same thing on Mars."
It wasn't the most comfortable ride back because the toilet was broken so the astronauts needed to rely on nappies for the eight-hour trip home.

Equipped with space suits, astronauts advance with heavy steps towards a Martian station erected in a crater in Israel. Their objective: to simulate the conditions of life on Mars and to carry out experiments in preparation for the possible exploration of the red planet.
