re: Astronaut who spent 197 days on the ISS shows how hard it is to walk again

Wiggle your big toe.

Sounds like they need a gravity chamber.

We can’t breathe if we’re too high in the sky or even an inch below water....on the fricking planet where we have evolved as the dominant species.

Why anyone thinks we are capable of adapting quickly to living in outer space is retarded

Frick that.

I like being able to move normally

This isn’t weak muscles either, this is learning how to walk again like a baby. Your body isnt used to balancing itself against the force of gravity.

Gnome, you are so Gullible. He is obviously pretending to walk like he is drunk. Staged video. With each passing day I find myself starting to think the flat earth theory is legit.

This pencil necked "astronaut" is pulling a Foster Brooks. Open your eyes.

Plus flat earth girls are easy.

Maybe he shouldn't stay up there as long.

Fun fact: I worked in that lab at JSC for 2 years and saw many of these tests. Some come back very unstable, others you wouldn't believe they were in space for 6 months. This is the first of many tests that check stability, balance, etc.

My test was focused on balance and is similar to what is in the video below. They take this test ~2-3 days after return, then 7 days, and then 30 days. Typically this is the test for determining when they can drive again.

Balance Platform

I still find it amazing none of them get cabin fever, go crazy, and do some fricked up shite up there.

they wait until they get back, Lisa Nowak:

Nowak drove from Houston to Orlando, Florida, on February 4–5, 2007. She packed latex gloves, a black wig, a BB pistol and ammunition, pepper spray, a hooded tan trench coat, a 2-pound (0.91 kg) drilling hammer, black gloves, rubber tubing, plastic garbage bags, approximately US$585 (equivalent to $706.86 in 2018) in cash, her computer, an 8-inch (200 mm) Gerber folding knife and several other items before driving the 900 miles (1,400 km) to Florida. Early police reports indicated she wore Maximum Absorbency Garments during the trip, but she later denied wearing them.[22][23] On February 5, 2007, Nowak went to the Orlando International Airport, waited for about an hour in the baggage claim, and then proceeded to the airport parking lot, where she located and confronted Colleen Shipman, who had just arrived from Houston by plane.[24]
Shipman said that after arriving, she was aware of someone following her to an airport satellite parking area.[25] When she got into her car, she heard running footsteps and quickly locked the door. Nowak slapped the window and tried to open the car door, asked for a ride, then started crying. Shipman rolled down the window a couple of inches after which Nowak sprayed the pepper spray into the car. Shipman drove off to the parking lot booth where police were summoned. Several Orlando Police Department Airport Division officers arrived minutes later, with the first officer observing Nowak throwing a bag into the trash at a parking shuttle bus stop. Nowak was subsequently arrested at Orlando International Airport on charges of attempted kidnapping, battery, attempted vehicle burglary with battery, and destruction of evidence.[26][27][28][29] In a handwritten request for a restraining order against Nowak after her arrest, Shipman referred to Nowak as an acquaintance of a boyfriend but did not identify Oefelein, and also claimed Nowak had been stalking her for two months.[30] Nowak told investigators she was involved in a relationship with Oefelein which she described as being "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship". Citing evidence of elaborate planning, disguises and weapons, police recommended she be held without bail.[30][31][32]
