During re-entry, Cdr Wiseman told Mission Control the crew had a \u201cgreat view of the Moon\u201d, although he admitted: \u201cIt looks a little smaller than yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacki Mahaffey, on the communications desk at Mission Control Houston, responded: \u201cI guess we\u2019ll have to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following 10 days in space, Commander Reid Wiseman started by telling the crowd in Houston, Texas on Saturday: \u201cI have no idea what to say.\u201d He said no one on Earth will know what he and his fellow astronauts went through and they were \u201cbonded\u201d forever. Wiseman said:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBefore you launch, it feels like it\u2019s the greatest dream on Earth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was no easy… when you\u2019re out there, you just want to get back to your families and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a special thing to be human and a special thing to be on planet Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Koch said she was struck by her view of Earth from space.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, what struck me wasn\u2019t just Earth, it was all of the blackness around it. Earth was just this lifeboat hanging undisturbably in the universe. Planet Earth you are a crew,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Canadian Space Agency President Lisa Campbell called the mission \u201ca powerful moment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During re-entry, Cdr Wiseman told Mission Control the crew had a \u201cgreat view of the Moon\u201d, although he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":526336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[1586,174720,50,90,416,5438,56,54,55,157732,1384,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-526335","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-moon","9":"tag-nasa-national-aeronautics-and-space-administration","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-space","13":"tag-standard","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom","17":"tag-us-content","18":"tag-us-news","19":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/526336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
