Astronaut Thomas Pesquet is the subject of an exceptional documentary which is being broadcast this evening, Tuesday April 25, on France 2. He has spent more than a year in space and has a precious view of our planet.
In two missions and 400 days spent in the international space station, Thomas Pesquet was able to observe our planet as only astronauts can do, at an altitude of 400 km. From these missions, the astronaut brought back 245,000 photos, testimony to the exceptional beauty of France, its coasts, its reliefs. Once down, Thomas Pesquet wanted to see up close what he had observed from so high, starting with the cliffs of Dieppe (Seine-Maritime) where he grew up.
Signs of climate change
From Normandy to Guyana, it’s an immersion in grandiose landscapes. With navigator Thomas Coville on the English Channel, a naturalist photographer in a Jura forest or a high mountain guide on Mont-Blanc, Thomas Pesquet sees the tangible signs of climate change everywhere. A privileged witness to the beauty of our planet, Thomas Pesquet, like a space envoy, also reminds us of its great fragility.
