Some words and good vibes from ESA's Sophie Adenot on returning inside the International Space Station after her third spacewalk. Reflecting on the view from her workspace today, "...the Earth was really beautiful. And it makes us feel even more human and wanting to take care of our home planet."

Sophie Adenot was launched 🚀 on 13 February and is now chasing the International Space Station on board Dragon 'Freedom', with her #Crew12 crewmates. Before she lifted off, she asked us to share this video on her behalf… Signed: Team Sophie #εpsilon @fr.esa.int @exploration.esa.int @cnes.fr
