We\u2019re finding things that we don\u2019t expect sometimes \u2013 this was one of those times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWe\u2019re still piecing things together. I\u2019m a medical doctor, space medicine is my passion, and how we adapt, how we experience human space flight, is something that we all take very seriously. In the fullness of time, we will allow this to come out.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"7500edaa-40bd-45be-bdb7-453bfa5c20c9\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:4,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Nasa says astronauts stuck in orbit to return with SpaceX crew in February, not on Boeing Starliner&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;7500edaa-40bd-45be-bdb7-453bfa5c20c9&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/article\/2024\/aug\/24\/nasa-astronauts-return-february-spacex&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Barrett was joined at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/nasa\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Nasa<\/a> headquarters by crewmates Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps. A fourth member, the Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, was not present.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">All four were diverted to the Ascension Sacred Heart hospital in Pensacola, in what Nasa said was \u201can abundance of caution\u201d, soon after their landing in a SpaceX capsule following 235 days in space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">One of the crew, who has not been identified, was \u201cbriefly detained\u201d at the hospital but was released \u201cin good health\u201d to continue what it called post-flight reconditioning, the US space agency said at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Friday, during their first public appearance since the end of the mission, the three Americans spoke about their first days back on Earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe big things you expect, being disoriented, being dizzy. But the little things, like just sitting in a hard chair, my backside has not really sat in a hard thing for 235 days \u2026 It\u2019s rather uncomfortable, right? I did not expect that, right?\u201d Dominick, the mission\u2019s commander, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI remember like the third or fourth day after we got back, we were sitting outside on our patio, with my family eating dinner, and I just wanted to be a part of the family and be there with the activities, but I couldn\u2019t sit on that hard chair any more. I just laid a towel down on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The mission had been expected to end in August, but the astronauts were directed to stay on the International Space Station (ISS) for two extra months in part because of technical issues surrounding the ill-fated maiden crewed voyage of Boeing\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/article\/2024\/sep\/06\/boeing-starliner-iss\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">troubled Starliner capsule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Starliner\u2019s astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are still onboard the ISS, five months after what was planned to be a week-long mission. They will not come home until at least February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The return of Barrett and his crewmates, meanwhile, was postponed by about a further two weeks because of weather, including Hurricane Milton\u2019s rampage across the Gulf of Mexico in early October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cYou\u2019re like, are we going home tomorrow? You call your wife, like, hey, we\u2019re coming home tomorrow, and then we\u2019re not, and then we\u2019re coming home, no, next week. Maybe,\u201d Dominick said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThat part was entertaining to deal with, but it was definitely great to spend bonus time in space.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2024\/nov\/08\/astronauts-hospital-nasa-international-space-station\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Nasa astronauts who were taken to a Florida hospital after returning to Earth from the International Space Station two weeks ago told reporters on Friday that they were all &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=123888\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8628],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-science","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=123888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123888\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=123888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=123888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=123888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
