Hundreds of miles above the Earth, the International Space Station offers a unique perspective of the world below. Astronauts say their view of the Israel-Hamas war is different.
Two astronauts aboard the International Space Station told Fox News their view of Earth without borders and living alongside people from other nations has helped them feel a sense of unity, even as the Israel-Hamas war rages. 'One of the things we experience up here is a different perspective of the world of our planet,' European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen told Fox News. 'A lot of people call it the overview effect.
Since then, nearly 5,000 Israelis and Palestinians have died, according to respective authorities. Over 200 Israelis are being held hostage in Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Despite the tragedy, the astronauts aboard the International Space Station had a more positive perspective. 'There's much more that unifies us,' NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbel told Fox News.
There's not often a good reason why a border exists where it is,' he continued. 'Because you experience the planet as a whole, you realize we're all humans.' To watch the full interviews with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, click here.
