This mission has brought me so much joy! I hope reentry goes smoothly.

I'm watching too! I was too young to remember the last time this happened, so I'm excited to watch it live.

Indeed… only there won’t be cast members to bail you out of your seat…

I was too young to remember the last time this happened, so I'm excited to watch it live.

I recall the first Moon landing, my birthday, 25 years old. Marie, then my fiancé, and I went outside her house, looked up at the Moon from her sidewalk and said, "they're actually up there". Amazing, unforgettable moment.

I have some motion sickness and do not appreciate big rides, spinning, etc. I just told DH that reentry sounds like a horrific version of Tower of Terror.

Does anyone know if the astronauts feel that stomach dropping sensation for the entire 17 minutes until they splash down? Or at least until the paraschutes deploy and start slowing them down?

Entry interface is on! It’s like Mission: SPACE all over again!

The stomach dropping sensation would be weightlessness. Coming in would be the opposite, G forces, similar to a degree like launch.

Almost 26,000 MPH now.
