Gupta asked whether anything had surprised Virts during his space station stint. Virts recalled the view from the Cupola the seven window observatory module on the ISS. The central African thunderstorms are amazing Virts said. They re so bright that the modules of the space station light up. He repeated the point for emphasis. The thunderstorms are so bright that they light up the space station from Earth. Astronaut s career hardly fits the corporate mold. Acknowledging that Gupta posed a question that seemed to be on a lot of minds based on the collective audience smiles and nods that followed. What Egypt WhatsApp Number List were you doing in GMP Gupta asked. training that I ve had Virts replied. Regarding what it s like to work with an internationally diverse team in close quarters Virts indicated that it s a matter of character and attitude. The ability to work with other cultures is absolutely mandatory for a mission like this he said. You have to be someone who is eager and able to work with people of different cultures. Gupta also asked Virts for his thoughts on the future of space tourism which has made headlines of late. For example the company Space Adventures Ltd. plans to send opera singer Sarah Brightman to the ISS later this year. So far space tourists have paid tens of millions of dollars each for such trips Brightman is reportedly spending a record million but several companies have announced that cheaper trips are in the offing. Virts responded like a diplomatic business school student.
