Well, you know, the three US astronauts, I believe they're all, it's more than their, it's not their first flight.

So they know they have to go through the medical checkout.

I'm sure they all want to get out as soon as they can.

And now there's, I'm sure they're sitting upright in the seat.

When they come back in those seats, they're on their backs, essentially.

So it's not a very challenging physiologic thing.

You don't tend to get lightheaded or anything from that.

But once you are standing upright, some will have problems adapting to that.

And as they slowly sit up, some will see they have no problems at all, and probably most will have no problems.

But they'll equilibrate to that, and that's one of the checkouts they'll be getting from the medical folks to make sure they are okay.

Sometimes you'll hear physicians talk about being orthostatic.

So they were actually wearing suits to help them with that, too, that they could use at their discretion.

So I think they'll all want to get out, and they'll be glad to get out, get on the helicopter, and get to the ship.

and walk a little bit, I think they'll all probably feel pretty well.

You tend to feel everything feels heavy just because you've been in a reduced gravity environment for a long time.

Your strength does not diminish that much, but things feel heavier.

And certainly, you don't have the same sense of balance.

So if you had your eyes closed, even with both feet on the ground standing upright, you probably would lose your balance.

And that's true for about the first 24 hours or so.

As long as you can see things, it won't be bad.
