Jessica Meir

I would say it's not that common.

I can think of maybe, definitely two, maybe three in the last six years, and one of, one of them was, uh, Jessica Meir and my first spacewalk ever in 2019, and one was actually just this year.

There was an unexpected spacewalk 'cause of something that broke, and, and it turned out actually it was Jessica Meir who also went out with someone else.

So it's, it's pretty rare.

It's pretty rare.

Thank you, FAA.

So the other day we reported on Crew-12 returning to Earth aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon on Thursday, and Crew-12 astronaut Jessica Meir just posted, "Ain't nothing gonna break my stride except for maybe gravity.

Here's a peek into our first space station post-flight data collection session immediately after landing in the helicopter after our SpaceX Dragon splashdown last Thursday.

The heel-toe walk with eyes open was doable, but definitely off my balance game once they had me repeat with eyes closed, shown here.

It brings us to our spotlight segment.

On Jessica, Jack, Sophie, and Andre, and see if they are [gentle music]

And we welcome Alban Guillaumard, researcher in space geopolitics at, uh, Paris' École Normale Supérieure School of Higher Learning.

Thanks for being with us.

Uh, there was a bit of a moment of patience that was required, uh, as the capsule was bobbing up and down.

We weren't sure what exactly was happening because those dinghies weren't immediately approaching the capsule.

But, uh, it looks like they've, uh, verified, made sure that there are no hazardous, that there were no hazardous fuels or liquids around the capsule, and now the capsule is aboard the MV Shannon, this specialized, uh, SpaceX vessel that serves as the command center but also as a medical, uh, station because those, uh, astronauts, those four astronauts, Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Andre Feyyajiv, and of course, French woman Sophie Adenot, uh, will have to undergo immediate vital checks, uh, things like blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, and body temperature.

And they will be helped out of the capsule and immediately set on either a chair or a stretcher because essentially the body forgets for eight months in, in microgravity, forgets how to pump blood against gravity.

Splashdown.

Dragon Freedom has returned home, and Jessica, Jack, Sophie, and Andre- Copy the splashdown.

On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home Crew-12

And so of course, this was for Crew-12 coming back from the International Space Station.

Funny how the trip up takes about eight hours, but the trip home takes 27 and a half hours.

[laughs]

All four Crew-12 mission astronauts, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andre Fedorov are now home safe and sound.

Elon said, "Welcome home." Yeah, I was surprised the other day, we were putting together some new astronaut posters-

¿Dónde está mi tequila?

And this week in 2019, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch took part in the first all-woman spacewalk when they ventured outside the International Space Station to replace a power controller.

It was an important milestone in space exploration and in NASA's history.

The two astronauts ventured outside the International Space Station, working in the incredibly demanding environment of space to replace a power controller.

The four astronauts on board NASA and SpaceX Crew-12 mission have returned to Earth.

Here's Mission Commander, Commander Jessica Meir the moment they landed yesterday.

We are so excited to be back on planet Earth after an incredible mission on the International Space Station with all of our colleagues and friends.

During their 237-day mission aboard the International Space Station, NASA says the crew traveled more than 100 million miles orbiting around Earth.
