«Breaking News» Astronaut shows what it looked like for him to walk on Earth after 197 days on the ISS

A NASA astronaut shows what it was like for him to get his legs under him on the ground after spending 197 days in space defying gravity.

In a video posted to Twitter, A.J. 'Drew' Feustel, 53, welcomed back the crew of the recently returned Soyuz MS-09 that had just spent six months at his former place of residence, the International Space Station (ISS). 

'Welcome home #SoyuzMS09 ! On October 5th this is what I looked like walking heel-toe eyes closed after 197 days on @Space_Station during the Field Test experiment,' Feustel tweeted. 'I hope the newly returned crew feels a lot better. Video credit @IndiraFeustel' 

Feustel can be seen wearing a harness with two men on either side holding out their hands to prevent him from falling in the video.

Feustel shakily ends up stepping towards his right-hand side as he goes forward only stopping when the woman with the clipboard calls out 'stop'

Arms crossed, he takes three somewhat steady steps before his stepping foot occasionally drifts to the side as he moves forward.  

The astronaut ends the exercise after about 10 steps and he ends up drifting more completely towards his right-hand side when a woman with a clipboard calls 'stop.'

'I wanted to document what it's like for the astronauts when they arrive back to planet Earth,' Indira Feustel, wife of Drew Feustel, tweeted explaining the footage she took on her own Twitter account.

'Every (male astronaut emoji)/(female astronaut emoji) has their own experience; their own science experiments they participate in.'

Indira Feustel added her own details on Twitter about the video footage her husband posted

A.J. 'Drew' Feustel, a Ph.D. in geological sciences specializing in seismology commanded the 55 and 56 Expeditions to the ISS

According to Indira, this was only her husband's second day back from his six-and-a-half month mission to the ISS. 

He had been the commander of the ISS Expeditions 55 and 56 returning from orbit just this past fall. 

The three-member crew of Soyuz MS-09 that Feustel wished well, ISS Expedition 57, landed in Kazakhstan on Thursday. They had circled the globe 3,152 times, covering 83.3 million miles in their own 197 days in orbit. 

NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Expedition Commander Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency and Soyuz commander Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities of Russia all returned safely after a dramatic repair to a leak in the Soyuz spacecraft itself.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
