A message from AstroSamantha
We have followed in the past few months the mission of Europan astronaut Samantha “AstroSamantha” Cristoforetti, not only for the great scientific value of their work aboard the International Space Station but also because the mission number 42 led the crew to pose in full HHGG costumes for the mission poster. Also, Sam revealed herself as a proper geek with her sci-fi references and she brewed the first espresso in space while dressed as a Star Trek character.
Now Samantha, “adjusting back to being an Earthling on our beautiful spaceship Earth”, gives us the most important of messages: Don’t Panic.
