Many people do not celebrate by burning firearms through the environment, pulling 4.4Gs on the planet’s freefall, roaming the ground, and evacuating the stomach at Kazakhstan’s footsteps.
No one ever did on them 70th Birthday
But maybe it’s appropriate, because NASA astronaut Don Pate is the only person. His birthday is April 20, and when the Swoiz spacecraft landed in Kazakhstan at dawn, the calendar had turned the same date. John Gillen, 77, was old when he went into space. But as much as Pett had spent 220 days on a mission by then.
On Monday, a little more than a week of returning from orbit, Pete met reporters at the Johnson Space Center. “It’s good to return to Earth,” he said. “As much as I like to find out, go to the border, and to observe, you arrive at the time when the time to come home.”
Flying in space at 70 years of age
For the first time, the pett went into space for three long -term missions at the International Space Station at the age of 47. Since then, he has flown a small shuttle mission and two more space stations. Everyone said that he lives in space for 590 days, the third most time in NASA’s astronauts.
He said, “I got some cracks and crys in my body, but basically I feel the same as I did 20 years ago, and returning to gravity is provocative.”
After each of his mission, Petete said that adjustment for gravity has been a challenge for him. He added that the amazing thing about spacelight is that it is not so much in your large muscles, but are small things.
