(ANSA) - Rome, August 17 - After pizza, Palermo-born
astronaut Paolo Nespoli, dubbed 'AstroPaolo', said he is now
craving Sicilian 'arancini'.
While working to prepare his Russian colleagues' space walk
from the International Space Station (ISS), Nespoli published a
stunning snap of his native Sicily illuminated by night lights.
Addressing his Earth-bound European Space Agency (ESA)
colleague Luca Parmitano, from Paternò near Catania, Nespoli
said on @astro_paolo: "#Sicily shining at night... @astro_luca,
how many arancini are you eating?"
Nespoli, 60, started his third mission in 10 years on July
28.
