“You see things at a different scale and I think you can grow in your appreciation for what Earth has to offer,” “When you finish and you’re back on the Earth, the memories diminish quickly.

– Jeff Williams

NASA astronaut Jeff Williams has been a part of Expedition 13, Expedition 21/22 and Expedition 47/48 and currently holds the American record for most days spent in space. Therefore, it’s safe to say that there’s no one better to tell us what it’s like to be in space with the Earth right next to you.
