Nobel Peace Prize may go to the International Space Station
Original: The Nobel Peace Prize could leave the planet this year, with the International Space Station among contenders
The Norwegian Nobel Committee's Peace Prize shortlist this year reportedly includes the International Space Station, a rare case of an orbital project rather than a person or organisation. Observers say honouring the station would recognise decades of US-Russia and international cooperation in space amid current geopolitical tension. The winner will be announced in Oslo later this year.
Why now: Speculation about the Nobel Peace Prize shortlist always draws attention, and the novelty of a space-based nominee is striking.
