• Weightlessness causes muscle atrophy, back on Earth they must regain strength
• Cosmonaut Vladimir Dezhurov: 'You have to learn how to walk again'
• Russian cosmonauts are either military pilots, engineers or doctors

The problem is it's Russia they don't want to return to, not Earth per se

What a faux pas. I blame cosmonaut aggressors making me so angry that I forgot my duties

Once you got off Earth, you wouldn't want to come back either.

I wish a lot of y'all would go into space. Give the rest of us extra elbow room. Move over, will you?
