We request that President Obama nominate the International Space Station Partnership for the Nobel Peace Prize. The International Space Station (ISS), built for the benefit of all humankind, is the largest peace-time endeavor in human history; there has not been any other multi-national endeavor of a greater magnitude or complexity since the world wars of the 20th century. The Partnership is comprised of NASA, Russian space agency Roscosmos, European Space Agency ESA, Japanese space agency JAXA, and Canadian space agency CSA. Visible in the night sky to all people on Earth, ISS is a beacon of peace and hope, and a model for international cooperation on Earth and in space.
