Well, [NONE of] the stranded astronauts are back safely.

Via Facebook. As you can see, they’re readapting to regular gravity. Which is a problem that we will need to fix in the long term, so at least we’ve gotten some observational data out of the whole sorry mess.

[UPDATE: I am reminded that the stranded astronauts are coming back down next year. This is just regular service on the ISS. We still need to work out a long-term solution, though.]

PS: I love what SpaceX is doing, but the company really needs about three or four competent competitors.
