ISS Crew Return Safely to Earth

[Binary_Bark]

On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 21st, the crew of Expedition 63 finally returned to Earth after spending Arrived196 days in space. It all began when NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy (commander) and Russian cosmonauts Ivan Vagner and Anatoly Ivanishin (both flight engineers) departed the International Space Station (ISS) aboard their Soyuz spacecraft at 07:32 PM EDT (04:32 PM PDT) and landed in Kazakhstan by 10:54 PM EDT (07:54 PM PDT).


Now that they are home, the crew will undergo medical checks at the landing site (outside of the town of Dzhezkazgan) before being flown home. While Cassidy will fly back to Houston, Vagner and Ivanishin will fly to Star City, Russia (a borough of Moscow). For Cassidy, this would be his third mission to the ISS, and one that was filled with plenty of highs and lows.

the bone loss and health effects wouldn't make it worthwhile,
unless they can make the ISS spin or something, to simulate gravity.
