Russian astronaut at the ISS is amazed by the Dominican Republic
The Russian astronaut Oleg Viktorovich Novitskiy described the Dominican Republic as a country that he considers a “paradise on Earth” for “its fantastic views and nature”.
Novitskiy tweeted from the International Space Station (ISS) after visualizing the nation through the window of the ship.
The astronaut, who came to the ISS aboard the Soyuz MS-18, affirms that the Dominican Republic is the most visited nation in the Caribbean because it is a “paradise” remembered by guests, who “involuntarily” want to be part of it.

This paradise on Earth impresses the guests for its fantastically beautiful views and nature, which amazes so much that one wants to become a part of it. pic.twitter.com/a0wP32KoZq
