I'd like to be the first to wish him a safe journey home today.
Guy has spent more time in space than any American. Today Show just said in his 340 day stint, he has witnessed 11,000 sunsets. Think about that for a minute. Imagine that.
Also noteworthy, he has an identical twin, so the medical discoveries on extended space travel are going to be pretty substantial.
And not to forget a bunch of the cool pictures and shite he sent back to Earth.

Today Show can't math or logic.
With a 90 minute orbit, that's 16 orbits per day, so 16 sunsets. Times 340 days is only over 5000 sunsets.
Plus, the dude sleeps.

Yep, awesome achievement.

I'm not a doctor, but I'd start at the fact that one was in zero gravity for 340 days and the other was living on Earth. I'd find it hard to believe that his twin on Earth was subjected to the same diet as his astronaut brother was, but still.

If it weren't for the effects of microgravity, it would be really cool to see how much less he has aged due to the time travel.

Holy shite. You are probably right. Someone call fricking NASA right now!!!!

They will get a great study on bone loss, the #1 problem of long-term spaceflight.

Maybe sunset and sunrise? Still, do you think it would lose it's luster seeing it so many times in orbit, almost wishing to see it once a day?

Is the guy that got stuck on Mars

Absolutely! Interesting to note as well, his twin is the former husband of the congresswoman in Arizona who got shot in the head.

Brother is married to a United States Representative Gabby Giffords. She was shot in the head several years back.

Well, it's not like he can leave anytime he wants to.
Wonder how the Walowitz zero gravity waste disposal system treated him in his 340 days.
