So far so good. I think reentry will be the part that makes people the most nervous. I personally wish there was a better way to return spacecraft to Earth but we currently can't carry enough fuel to decelerate. That will have to wait until we start using nuclear forms of propulsion.

Yes, it looked smooth from what I could see.

Astronauts have balls that clank! Always think about his scene. ...

Nasa is a joke, a shadow of what it was, when they went to the moon with slide rules. Total waste of shiny stones.

Yes indeed. Check out Kevin Costner's "Hidden Figures." Good movie.

I believe Nasa should have video of toilet valve malfunction. Not that I want to see the results. Got a pretty good visual in mind, a crew member flushed and then said ah sh!t!!

If you think a backed up toilet on Earth is bad you ain't seeing nothing yet when it happens in zero g. It must have gotten really nasty up there. They can't open the window either to get out the stink.

Back in the days of the Apollo mission, they had to go in a plastic bag. In full view of their co-workers. It's amazing what they had to endure.

Sadly they brought her back to earth

 

[jtr1962]

Looks like they returned safely to Earth! The reentry was the part that had me scared the most.

It was excruciating to watch while they battled the waves to get the stabilization collar on, and then finally the front porch, and then FINALLY they extracted the four crew members. So happy to see that the landing was virtually textbook though.
