Astronaut Paolo Nespoli: 'I'm not a superhero or a genius'

Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli talks about life at the International Space Station, where knowing how to fix a toilet is just as important as understanding astrophysics.

He spent several months living at the International Space Station: first in 2007, and then again for six months until May 2011.
