Astronauts on the ISS share their 'life-changing' view

The International Space Station, orbiting approximately 250 miles above Earth, is both a marvel of human creativity and engineering. Astronauts from around the world have called it home. Four Americans who do so currently are Expedition 72 Commander Suni Williams, and Flight Engineers Butch Wilmore, Nick Hague, and Don Pettit. They joined The Excerpt to share what folks on the Earth should know about the science experiments they are conducting and the perspective gained from even just one lap around the planet.   Episode Transcript available here Also available at art19.com/shows/5-Things See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
