Greeted with roses – They have finally arrived back safely
If we meet a hundred grumpy people during the day, there is every chance that we will be grumpy ourselves afterwards. If we look at a hundred inscriptions and photos of hatred and bestiality, they will draw out all the positive energy from our body and soul.
But a smile on somebody’s the face, the sincere, unadulterated one, awakens positivity in us. Unfortunately, you will not have the opportunity to see the photo we are bringing (the reaction and smile of the American astronaut after returning to Earth and being welcomed with a gift of roses by a Russian colleague, a cosmonaut) in our media.
It is not “suitable” for us or for Americans and other portals around the world that bring news from the world of science and technology.
Humans in space cooperate, have cooperated in the past (just remember the Apollo-Soyuz mission in the mid-seventies at the height of the Cold War) and will hopefully cooperate in the future.
We do not wish to be met there by yesterday’s great friend with a maddened, sullen face because of a different opinion.
During this week, the three-member crew from the ISS successfully returned to Earth aboard the Russian Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft. By the end of September, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub landed in the Kazakh steppe, along with American astronaut Tracy Dyson.
With this flight into space, Kononenko became the world space record holder with 1,111 days spent in space, during five separate flights. With this, he set a new world record for the length of a man’s stay in space.
The previous record was 878 days, the total number of days spent in space by the Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, during several missions into space.
American astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson was immediately greeted by the Soyuz MS-25 commander, Oleg Novitskiy, after landing and being received by the rescue team, in whose ship and under his command Dyson went into space in March of this year.
Novitskiy returned from space earlier in another spaceship. With a beaming face and a genuine smile of surprise, Dyson received a gift of roses from her Russian colleague. Humanity in action.
On Saturday afternoon, September 28, the American-Russian crew consisting of Nick Hague (NASA astronaut) and Alexandr Gorbunov (ROSCOSMOS cosmonaut) went into space.
After several delays, they left for the ISS from the Cape Canaveral launch pad, on a Falcon 9 rocket, in the Crew Dragon spacecraft. Two seats in the ship are empty at launch.
They will be occupied by Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams during February next year after the ship returns from space.
Due to the catastrophic technical performance of Boeing’s Starliner ship, the latter were stuck in space for eight months instead of eight days.
In the following days, the International Space Station will be visible in the night sky. Each passage through our sky lasts up to several minutes.
So, if you see a bright “star” traveling without sound or signal lights among the real stars, know that there are people there – People.
