  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They may face a variety of health problems — from weaker bones and muscles to vision issues and “baby feet” — as their bodies adjust back to the planet’s gravity.

I had no idea what "baby feet" was so I had to look it up. Apparently it means that the soles of the astronaut's feet grow soft like a baby's, so it becomes difficult for them to walk.

Anyway, I'm glad the astronauts are back safely and hope they have good health.
Yeah they explained it in the article. Strange thing. First I heard of that too. I pretty much knew about the other effects though. I’m so glad they are home. I do wonder how they are doing today.

Yeah they explained it in the article.
Ah, I didn't see that. I didn't realize the article continued after the picture of the capsule. I thought it ended there because there was a reader comment that followed it. I imagine I'd be feeling a little woozy, but they seemed to be in high spirits. They could have been putting on a brave face though, or their happiness at being home overrode any physical problems they were having.

I hope so. I was thinking they would update us.
