you. Three astronauts have returned safely to earth after spending more than six months on the International Space station their mission proved to be problematic for technical reasons but german commander Alexander Guest said the return trip at least went smoothly. Back from space after spending months in zero gravity alex and aghast had to be helped out of the tiny so us capsule they tarried him and his crew Back To Earth. That they really feels like coming home although i am in kazakhstan in a place i havent been to before but it still feels like im coming home. With. His fellow Astronauts Russian Procopio and American Serina and chancellor exhausted but all are said to be doing well. The catchcry was docked into the International Space station the i assess which has been home to the astronauts for the past six and a half months the crew performed dozens of scientific experiments on board alex and
a guest later became the first german to take over command of the i s s. Airbus. Not always an easy task the replacement teams failed launch meant that many experiments could be carried out and gassed had to extend his mission russian astronauts also had to carry out a grueling repair on a mysterious hole in the sole use capsule the craft that would ultimately bring them safely Back To Earth and environmentalists sick before he left the iowa says he sent a message to future generations. When looking down to earth i feel that i have to apologize. It looks like my generation is not going to leave the planet in the best shape. I wish i could look into the future with your eyes and look into your world and understand how you see it. Is it that in the fortunately i can do that all i can do is try to play my part in giving you a future and the best possible version of it. Back on earth the next on the guest is ready to spend christmas with his family yes. Thats right he was smiling today when he returned to earth just in time for christmas and by the way gets to set a new record for a german astronaut a career total of Three Hundred Sixty three days in space with me is the man whose record just broke Thomas Reiter coordinator of the European Space agency and a former astronaut himself good evening to you mr ryder we didnt mean to introduce you that way as a man whose record had just been broken but im sure youre happy to have that record broken by mr garrett tell me where you were holding your breath today until the touchdown was complete. Oh yes first of all i
knew that the day will come when this record is broken thats what records all fall to be broken and lets see if the whole long can hold this record i keep my fingers crossed that it will be long yes of course we always very excited it seems like such a return Back To Earth kind of routine but it is far from that it is always quite an exciting face in which the spacecraft does the atmosphere fly through this Three Thousand degrees centigrade hot plasma and then finally touch a stone yes we were holding our Breath Everything was working is usually very reliable and now hes stick fits we. Happy to have him just before christmas yeah i mean you know he was smiling and you say hes fit tell me a little bit what is it like adapting and getting used to mother earth again after youve been in space for such a long time. You know this is in fact not easy when
i think back of my two space flights when i returned i have to say the first. One and a half hour us are not so easy the Vestibular System needs to readapt the Gravity Pleasure Regulation is a little bit. Small regime and the first the first minutes of the first one and a half quite difficult when i saw it coming out of the capsule this morning i was wondering if he was really in space because he really looked fit and as he just arrived here he was walking almost normally at least for me it looked like that so he has done a fantastic work not only in terms of science plus also to maintain his fitness because that helps a lot when you return to be then in this good shape after being in gravity for only a few hours and what about the time that he was on the. And as commander
he didnt always have an easy mission diddy. Oh no definitely not apart from the lets say the normal plenty of the scientific experiments Maintenance Work they had of course some trouble with the Soyuz Capsule fortunately that was not too serious a phenomenal situation i think they handled it very nicely and at the return it was not a problem whatsoever but you know this is also the reason why humans. Very useful in this environment not only because they can be trained very well and they subject to some of the medical research specifically but the cognitive capabilities the combination of cognitive sense of tori capabilities capability to work things with our hands with offing us to take decisions even intuitively make us very suitable to react to unforeseen situations in such an environment we heard. To protect our earth for future generations today how much of a help is Space Research doing and providing for Climate Protection for example. You know i think with all those scientific set of lights we wouldnt know a small fraction of what we know today about Climate Change so its all these. Lights and also the International Space station is used as a platform to test new kinds of sens laws before they then can be flown on board of satellites around the earth so it is of immense help for the understanding of all the processes that are going on here on earth you know its not Just Launched end of august said lloyd which is scanning the global. System from to
a height of Thirty Kilometer us for. Its time that this ever has been done and all this information helps us to understand how climate is functioning well lets hope we can take that information and put it its a good use for the future generations good to talk with you tonight Thomas Reiter former astronaut now coordinator of the European Space agency have a Merry Christmas mr wright thank you for talking with us tonight.
