Have we learned anything from Artemis II ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst once told Aschbacher, after returning from the International Space Station, that the view from space changes everything.Gerst told the ESA boss that he wishes all eight billion people on Earth could go to space just once and see what he saw – a small, fragile, beautiful planet, cared for not nearly well enough by the species lucky enough to live on it.”That,” says Aschbacher, “would create a very different life on planet Earth.”
