There's a lot of work to do - not only the science but maintaining the facilities up here.

There are parts of the Earth that are covered with pollution all the time. I saw weather that was unexpected. Storms bigger than we've seen in the past. This is a human effect. This is not a natural phenomenon. Scott Kelly bigcoverearth share on social
