The crew of the shuttle Endeavor arrived back on Earth Wednesday after a sixteen day flight to the international space station.The greatest thing about this?
"French spaceflyer Leopold Eyharts, of the European Space Agency, also landed aboard Endeavour to complete a nearly 49-day trek to the space station. Eyharts launched to the station in early February to deliver the station's ESA Columbus lab and handed his Expedition 16 crew assignment over to NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman — who arrived aboard Endeavour — before returning to Earth.
'It was a strange feeling coming back to gravity after such a long time,' Eyharts said via telephone, adding that he may need a couple of days to get back to full strength. 'I feel actually well. I think the adaptation is going as was expecting.'
I would love to have the opportunity to do something in which I would need to adapt to Earth's gravity.
