Well, [NONE of] the stranded astronauts are back safely.

Via Facebook. As you can see, they’re readapting to regular gravity. Which is a problem that we will need to fix in the long term, so at least we’ve gotten some observational data out of the whole sorry mess.

[UPDATE: I am reminded that the stranded astronauts are coming back down next year. This is just regular service on the ISS. We still need to work out a long-term solution, though.]

PS: I love what SpaceX is doing, but the company really needs about three or four competent competitors.

  1. Re: SpaceX competitors

    Yes, right now it is SpaceX against the rest of the world, and SpaceX is winning.

    I love them for it, but would be much happier if they were leading the three or four good competitors in the race.

    It has been shown that it can be done. Others will be determined to follow.
