A rock star's late afternoon call to the International Space Station
In short: When Peter Gabriel visited NASA's Johnson Space Center, he didn't just tour the facilities; he connected with the crew currently orbiting Earth. This rare interaction highlights the intersection of high-level engineering and human artistry.
On February 20, entertainer Peter Gabriel spoke with three members of Expedition 34: NASA Commander Kevin Ford, NASA Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn, and Canadian Space Agency Flight Engineer Chris Hadfield. The conversation took place while the crew was stationed aboard the International Space Station.
The interaction provided a unique cultural exchange between Earth and orbit. During the call, Gabriel discussed the realities of life and work in space with the astronauts. In a notable display of orbital creativity, Hadfield shared several musical chords from his guitar, which he keeps with him on the laboratory.
