Astronaut's perspective on the role of art in space
As a veteran NASA astronaut and an artist who promotes space-themed art therapy, Nicole Stott shares her perspective on how art in various forms can play a major role in solving current-day problems in space and in the future of space exploration. Just as she was always mindful about the well-being of her crewmates on the ISS in terms of their oxygen supply, food, and clean water, she believes humanity can also make our world a better place for everyone by perceiving Earth as one giant spaceship and regarding all humans as crewmates.
