Astronaut Don Pettit: Greetings From the Bottom of the World

“In May 2003, astronaut Don Pettit returned home from his five-month stay aboard the International Space Station. Living in isolated conditions in an extreme environment, he spent much of his time conducting scientific research. Now, he’s doing it again, but this time he’s not leaving the planet. Pettit is currently in Antarctica on a scientific expedition to look for meteorites.”
