French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated French astronaut Sophie Adenot during a video call from the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, September 10, as part of the International Space Summit in Paris. Adenot, who has spent 202 days in space, has now surpassed the previous record for the longest European space mission, previously held by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano. Macron commended the French and European public for their support, saying they had "vibrated with you in your adventure." Adenot shared her experiences in space, expressing ongoing wonder at being in orbit. She spoke of her efforts to connect with France and its people, sharing glimpses of daily life aboard the ISS. She also described recent spacewalks, highlighting the stunning view of Earth, even though safety was a top priority during these activities. Adenot expressed mixed feelings about returning to Earth. While she is eager to rejoin life on the ground, she also felt a "slight pang of the heart" at leaving the space environment. After her return, she plans to stay in Cologne at the European Astronaut Center for readaptation. Adenot invited Macron to her return in Cologne, an invitation the president accepted, calling it a "sign of destiny." Macron also announced new strategic decisions made the previous day, including upcoming missions like the Vast PAM-6 to the ISS, involving Thomas Pesquet and two other astronauts. He outlined "fifty commitments of several billion euros" for space exploration, which Adenot praised as a testament to France and Europe’s dedication to advancing space exploration.
