Claim 1: “French astronaut Thomas Pesquet is set to return to space with fellow spaceman Arnaud Prost in 2027.”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm that both Thomas Pesquet and Arnaud Prost are scheduled for space missions in 2027, they explicitly state the astronauts will embark on SEPARATE missions (Pesquet to the ISS and Prost to Vast's Haven-1), whereas the claim suggests they are returning 'with' each other on the same mission.
