Crew adjusting to fame on Earth
The crew members say the impact of their trip is still sinking in one week after their landing.
“It’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through,” Wiseman said, adding the week has been full of medical and physical testing. “We have not had that decompression, we have not had that reflection time.”
Pilot Victor Glover said he’s been avoiding social media and the news since his return.
Mission specialist Christina Koch said she “doesn’t necessarily like attention” but that it’s been emotional to learn about the impact the trip has had on people who followed along.
“When my husband said, ‘No really, you’ve made a difference,’ it brought tears to my eyes,” she said. “I think we’re ready to share in that inspiration.”
