Fantastic stuff. That little blast at the last second must feel like hitting a brick wall.

Re: Tim Peake Returns to Earth

Did you see the tv coverage amazing. It was quite awhile before they carried him away. Must be such a strange sensation being weightless one second and feeling gravity the next.

Re: Tim Peake Returns to Earth

Apparently they sometimes forget that they are no longer weightless. Someone was telling the story on TV this morning about an astronaut who went out for dinner and dropped her knife and fork with a 'Clang!'because she was expecting them to float in front of her.

Was certainly something for the history books.
