Pope speaks with crew on space station
Pope Benedict XVI spoke Saturday with the astronauts aboard the international space station, specifically mentioning Cmdr. Mark Kelly's wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who is recuperating from recent surgery on her skull.
"I know that Mark and his wife were the victim of a serious attack, and I hope that her health continues to improve," the pope said.
Kelly thanked the pope for mentioning Giffords. The Arizona congresswoman was shot in the head in a January assassination attempt.
The two men also talked about how technology used in space may be able to help relations between people on Earth.
"I think it must be obvious to you how we all live together on one Earth, and how absurd it is that we fight and kill each one," the pontiff said.
"We fly over most of the world and we don't see borders, but at the same time we realize that people fight with each other and there is a lot of violence in this world," Kelly said.
Unlike on Earth, technology on the space station allows for almost unlimited power from the sun, he said.
"If these technologies could be adopted more on Earth, we could possibly reduce some of that violence," he said.
The space shuttle Endeavour launched Monday on a 16-day mission.

Sound's like palin's synoptics administration that engineered the ultra secret psychic visual Communications systems to hijack Jeffery Lee Loughner and make him commit to the mass murder on the congress on your corner event in Arizona, you know! the one that killed a federal judge an innocent little girl and critically wounded an Arizona congress woman!....... Yeah that synoptics administration!!. Is it Russian and their taunting Captain Kelly showing him how stupid the people of the united states is to allow someone like George H. W. Bush to trust the entire world in this ultra secret psychic visual bionic spy manipulations communications systems manipulations communication's systems that promoted the school shooting's too!.?. Oh! Boy! this is so exciting, someone call Roseanna Anna Danna.
In this Picture it looks like the Russians are toying with Captain Kelly. Has all the new development's in the ultra secret CIA RMS psychic visual spy manipulations really been handed over to the Russians when Ronald Reagan went to Russia and gave Russia 2 more alphabetic character's in their Alphabet.?. ?
It takes a miserable country to bank on a doomsday scenario. so is it both Russia and mexico that thought they didn't have anything to live for after decenber 21 2012. and that's why they changed the propaganda to may 21st????????????
How much vodka do those dood's&ette's drink when they're at ease. look's like they didn't miss too many bottles.
Ha Ha.
Be Aware of the T.W.A............. Tyrannous Wiseacre Acculturation's.
I hope all the astronauts make home safely ! They're all up there doing great research... ensuring that one-day, we all can send our Children's children for exploration possibilities. HOOOAH !
I'm curious. If birds were there, how would they perform anyway?
Can you see the sun revolving around the earth from up there?
How is unlimited power from the sun related to lasting peace on earth?
