NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy sent home a message of unity from his perch aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday, telling the world that there's hope if we just stick together."There's hope in being united," said Cassidy when CNN's Rachel Crane asked if he had a message for those of us on Earth."When I look down at the planet, it's just a big beautiful spaceship that has 7 billion astronauts on it.
The astronaut has been aboard the space station since April 9, when there were under 500,000 cases in the US and less than 20,000 deaths. Now, there are at least 1,356,000 coronavirus cases in the US and at least 81,500 deaths.But Cassidy says it's"largely business as usual" in space, despite the coronavirus pandemic tearing across the globe beneath him.
