I wonder how strong gravity feels after being gone that long, probably pretty crippling.

Yeah, I can't imagine how strange it must feel to be held down to a floor again after all that time effortlessly floating around to get to where you need to go.
Welcome back Canadian friend.

Not really comparable to being in space for over 100 days.
But if you stay in water for only like 10 minutes and then get out, you already feel how "heavy" things are. Now imagine that it's so heavy that you can't stand. That's probably how they feel.
Its kind of unbelievable how we live in an age where commander of spacestation is a title a man can have
Now we will never know if you can ejaculate in space.

So happy I'm crying

I wonder how wanking feel like in space.

I'm surprised there hasn't been an experiment on the mechanics of sexual intercourse in space. It will be a serious experiment because of it's implications on multi-generational missions.
I like how pampered and helpless they seem right after they return.
Must feel pretty crazy on top of the gravity readjustment and such.

IIRC it's confirmed by theory that it almost surely wouldn't work. Or, at least, as for the impregnation part.
Sperm has been in space before. It apparently swims faster.

I bet he will drop every object he uses, since he is so used to just let it go and fly in zero-G

I bet he functions much like surgeon simulator for the first few weeks.
Can anyone explain to me why they look so beaten and weak after they land?
It was as if they could barley move or even really have the energy to talk.

Watch the vsauce video posted a few posts above. When you're in outer space you don't train your muscles, not even by doing the simple tasks as pickup something, seeing as everything is weightless there. There's a lot of other stuff too that's explained in the video.
I think it's pretty normal for someone to be tired from just standing up and experiencing gravity again after having lived without for half a year.
Kinda sad that he had to come down, he was a great teacher of what went on up there. Probably a good thing though. I couldn't see how more than one expedition could be good for you.

They do exercises to stave it off don't they?
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;40642836]They do exercises to stave it off don't they?[/QUOTE]
They exercise to help slow down muscle and bone atrophy, I'm not sure it'll help them too much in terms of getting used to earth gravity again, though.

Astronauts are not allowed to drive for a few weeks after they come back because of it.

I just had the most awesome idea for a Science-Fiction story/game/movie whatever. Imagine far in the future, the world is kind of like Mass Effect except as far as we know we've always lived in Space, on different plantes, interacting with aliens - because of something that happened, like an apocalypse, which erased our history (like, when we left earth and started going far into space etc) - but what we don't know is that these aliens are just different evolutions of man after we've been living under conditions like this :v:

Just stumbled across this and though about you.
