A first-time opportunity for me, watched it all starting 2.30 a.m. local, from the separation of the capsule until the astronauts landed safely on the recovery vessel. Seeing a glimpse of those yellow plasma fumes just before the connection breakdown was the most thrilling moment, but it was also interesting to follow every step of the recovery process in real time.
ReplyDeleteDid want to watch this, but sadly forgot about it and went to bed.
ReplyDeleteGlad they got back safely though.
It is quite an achievement, but they did it several times in the 60s and 70s, over 50 years ago, so given the technical advances since then, it should have been a lot more easily achievable.
