Gemini astronaut Alexander Guest has arrived home for the holidays and spoke today about his latest adventures in space and we came Back To Earth on thursday after spending more than six months at the International Space station at a Press Conference in cologne guest says he is looking forward to celebrating christmas with his family after having carried out some two hundred experiments in space x. True alex as is known his crew included an american and russian astronaut and he reviewed the valuable lesson he brought back became to. Was in complete want to
shift we grew up in completely different environments yet we were able to work really well together i believe its one of the most important things we learned from the Space Station that we can apply here on earth and continue in the future and give you about your mouth and its a question for you and joining me now in studio is Derek Williams from all science just to discuss this so derek this is very exciting for me i have to say Alexander Guest Second Mission to the International Space station clearly the something about him why do they keep choosing him well they chose him because he turned in a very very solid performance and in the Blue Dog Mission back in twenty fourteen this particular mission he was the commander for the second half of the horizons Commission Mission hes just a very media savvy person he really turned an entire generation of young people on to the idea of space so on the one hand hes hes proved his competence in space once already and and on the other hand hes hes proven that hes been able to make
space something thats more of a daily thing for a lot a lot of young people down here on earth but before we talk more about Alexander Guest lets look back at the last six months of the of the mission that culminated in the landing in kazakhstan two days ago. Back from space after spending months in zero gravity Alexander Guest had to be helped out of the tiny still used capsule that ferry to him and his crew Back To Earth. Is one that it feels like coming home although i am in kazakhstan and the place i havent been to before it still feels like coming home. For three months are you know. His fellow astronauts russian surrogate and American Serina Anon chancellor both seemed exhausted but all are said to be doing well. The capsule was docked on to the International Space station d. I. s this which has been home to the astronauts for the past six and a half months despite several setbacks the crew performed dozens of scientific
experiments on board and guest later became the first german to take over command of the i. S. A. s he used his unique perspective to offer insight on Environmental Issues via social media before he left the i assess guess sends a message to future generations. When looking down to earth i feel that i have to apologize. It looks like my generation is not going to leave the planet in the best condition. Back on earth guess just ready to celebrate christmas with his family and remains determined to Fight For The Future of humankind. So dake its interesting that a man who has all bits of the world around Three Thousand times in through the most Incredible Technology had something rather melancholic to say after history really
was a very somber message that he signs to his unborn grandchildren. Ive talked to several astronauts over the years and all of them kind of convey the same message one of the one of the most important aspects of that message is that the the earth is a very fragile place and the echoes here that we on this planet that we call home is is fragile it has a fragile it from space that you can imagine when youre down on the surface and theyre flying over there flying over landscapes theres seeing the wild fires caused by drought in california theyre seeing the deforestation in the rainforest in the amazon there theyre seeing the marine pollution along the coasts of the continent in a way that we dont see it down here on earth because were limited simply to to our to our immediate environment and i think that that really that message that songbird message that sobering message is one that he wants very much to to use his position as the commander or wanted to use it in his position as the commander on the i has to communicate that to people and do you think this is what hes going to
keep doing because you know he said that he might be back on earth but his mission is definitely not complete well it definitely isnt because a big part of what astronauts do or cosmonauts do is is is theyre working hard with Public Relations to try to make space a common endeavor of humanity and its and going to space is something that nations really cant afford to do all on their own were going to we have to come together even if we have political differences with russia or with china were going to in the future. If we really want to explore space were going to have to come together in a way that the us has shown as we can do and i think that thats that that particular message when i spoke with him was one that theyre also came through very strongly he said once we get out there were all just people. And so it would be surprising for example if he decides to join the usa maybe on their moon mission do you think theres a possibility that the moon mission exactly the moon the Mars Missions are things that are going to be happening in the future no one can really say when i would
speculate that yes if it doesnt take too long to get there he is forty two after all so if it takes twenty years to get there they might not be wanting to send a sixty two year old up but if they happen quickly as nasa is possibly planning in the in the in the next ten to twelve years yes he might actually make it to them but wait and see what happens Derrick Williams thank you for that news from stays.
