Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held a video call with Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu, who is participating in Axiom Mission 4, on Sunday afternoon.
"I'm still a bit moved right now, this is the first time I've ever done this in my life, I spoke to a great man, after all," PM Orbán said in a video posted on Facebook after the call.
When asked if he would go to space, he replied: "Of course, I would". "I would see what we look like from the outside, the whole Earth as one," he said.
The prime minister said he had "a more or less all-round view" of the country and even the European Union because of his job, "but to see all of the Earth in its entirety, that must be a special experience and is perhaps only possible from space".
