If you follow Reddit by any measure, you know who Col. Chris Hadfield is and why he's such a popular person.


I found this interesting about a astronaut's lifestyle upon returning to earth.

Canadian astronaut wrestles with gravity after spaceflight

"For now, I'm still trying to stand up straight. I have to sit down in the shower so I don't faint and fall down, and I don't have calluses on the bottom of my feet yet, so I'm walking around like I walked on hot coals," he said.

It usually takes about three weeks until a returning astronaut can return to driving, according to the Canadian Space Agency.

"We're sort of tottering around like two old duffers in an old folks home," Hadfield said, referring to his crew mate Marshburn.

Hadfield's orbital odyssey ended with a parachute descent of their Soyuz space capsule onto the steppes of Kazakhstan.

"We hit the Earth just like a car crash, like we expected," Hadfield said. "There was enough wind so that we rolled up on our side. I was the guy hanging from the ceiling."

Did not know it was quite like that.

Perspective. Point a telescope at a area they thought was void, came back with billions of galaxies they never knew existed.
