Become a Crewmate of Spaceship Earth

Nicole Stott, veteran NASA astronaut and artist, wants us all to look at Earth with a new perspective.

One of only ten women to ever undertake a spacewalk, Nicole tells Oliver Jeffers how earthlings need to take more care of the planet and become crewmates, not passengers, of Spaceship Earth.

Your mission is to design a postcard that...

  • Shows how we are all crewmates on Spaceship Earth

  • Includes something we can do to help protect the planet

  • Has three words about why you are thankful to Earth
