Astronauts get a “popespace” page

The Endeavor Shuttle and International Space Station astronauts had a chat May 21 with Pope Benedict XVI. They talked about science, courage, violence and world peace, and the beauty of the planet.

What a great opportunity for both the scientists and the pope to share their views.

Here, from NASAtv, is the 17-minute link-up.
