Three days ahead of his return to Earth, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet shares with AFP his reflections on spending six months on board the International Space Station. Among other impressions, Pesquet shares his appreciation for the fragility of his home planet. "You don't realise how thin the atmosphere is," he says "you don't realise how easily we can harm the planet and how important it is to protect it. We only have one."
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."
