Space: Image of the Day #54 - Dan lands back on Earth

[Robert Bruce]

Image of the Day



Commander Dan Burbank arrived back on Earth after he completed his tour on ISS #30.

Spot the lovely old chair the Russina retrieval crew plonk the astronauts and cosmonauts into after getting them out of the Soyuz capsule.

No shuttle =  a no 1st class USA frills or softish landing at at an airport near home. Instead they now land on hard frozen permafrost with a spine-snapping thump!

But I bet it is good to be back
