NASA’s most senior official told News at Ten today that his organisation can make a difference to the world’s understanding of climate change.
Bill Nelson, who himself flew into space in the 1980s, explained how being an astronaut gives you “a different perspective on the planet we call home” and made him more aware of the damage we are doing.
He said of the view of Earth from space: “It’s so beautiful and yet it looks so fragile”.
