Astronauts face tough return to gravity after nine months

After nine months in space, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are returning to Earth aboard a SpaceX capsule, set to splash down off Florida.

Originally planned as an eight-day mission, their stay on the ISS was extended due to spacecraft issues.

Dr Meganne Christian, the UK's ESA Reserve Astronaut, said re-adapting to gravity and social interaction will be challenging after months in microgravity.

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

‘LIKE HIROSHIMA’: Trump Compares U.S. Strikes on Iran to Atomic Bombings; Says ‘It Ended the War’

Trump likened recent U.S. military strikes on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming the overwhelming force of the attack was enough to “end the war.” Speaking at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida, Trump reportedly told supporters, “It was like Hiroshima — one hit, and they backed off. That’s how you stop a war.” #TrumpBombsIran #LikeHiroshima #TrumpIranStrike #USBombsIran #IranUnderAttack #TrumpWarTalk #IranNuclearSites #TrumpVsIran #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelWar #TrumpOnIran #IranCrisis #DonaldTrumpNews #USStrikesIran #IranBombing Also Read US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~GR.124~ED.102~
