U.S. astronaut MarkVandeHei has been speaking about the highs and lows of his record-breaking stay aboard the InternationalSpaceStation.
NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei is returning to Earth this week after setting a new record for the longest continuous spaceflight by an American.
Ahead of final preparations for departure alongside Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov, Vande Hei has been speaking about the highs and lows of his lengthy mission in a video shared on Twitter. As for lows, the astronaut, who is on his second stay aboard the ISS following a six-month stint that ended in 2018, said: “Physically this is a challenging environment to be in. I’ve had a lot of congestion and headaches … times when you just feel very physically uncomfortable. Those are probably the low points, it colors everything you’re doing, it takes a lot more work to stay in the right frame of mind in those situations.
