This achievement not only highlights technological prowess but also serves as a symbol of global cooperation in space, even as geopolitical tensions persist on Earth. The space station itself has been tipped as a potential winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be announced in a few days. DW's Gerhard Elfers speaks with Professor Kai-Uwe Schrogl, political affairs advisor to the European Space Agency, about the significance of this mission and the prospects for the ISS receiving the prestigious award.
