The pontiff addressed the 12-strong crew of the space shuttle Endeavour and
|
|
the space station from the Vatican, paying tribute to Commander Mark Kelly,
|
|
whose wife, US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, is still recuperating after
|
|
being shot in the head by a gunman in January.
|
|
|
|
Speaking to the crew via satellite link, the pope asked the astronauts a range
|
|
of questions, including inquiring after their views on world peace and
|
|
science.
|
|
|
|
Pope Benedict also took the opportunity to bless the men and women on board
|
|
the space station and praised their work.
|
|
|
|
"This conversation gives me the chance to express my own admiration and
|
|
appreciation to you and all those collaborating making your mission possible
|
|
and offer my heartfelt encouragement to bring it to a safe and successful
|
|
conclusion," the Pope said.
