Learning To Walk Again After 197 Days In Space

If you thought an astronaut’s challenge ended with going into space and returning to earth, a NASA astronaut is here to prove you wrong. Drew Feustel posted a video of himself trying to acclimatise to walking on solid ground on earth, heel to toe, after spending a long time floating inside the International Space Station.

The video was posted after some of his colleagues on the Soyuz MS-09 came back to earth on Thursday. In the caption, Feustel said the footage was from a field test on October 5, when he had returned after 197 days in space. -Scroll.In

197 days in space makes that shirt feel like 10 lbs. Shirt comes after about a month in. Then a necktie a few weeks after that. Then a tie clip after a week more.

It will take about a full year before he can attend his honor banquet.

surfingytsaid:

this training only works while shirtless?

Seems not too bad, relatively speaking.

Babies after 9 months of floating in in low-gravity take like a year or two to get walking.
