Okay, they're safe and home and being looked after, the adrenaline has worn off, the thunderstorm is finished and I'm no longer buried under an anxious corgi - it's time for a snack!
It was fun watching this with everyone! Thanks to all who joined in! :) <3

Okay I'm not saying I love everything the military does because I absolutely don't, but I'm sorry I do really like military vehicles (jeeps, aircraft, ships) and watching the four helicoptors on the flight deck like this, in perfect order, bringing astronauts home, I mean, COME ON, THAT'S VERY COOL

Going from weightlessness to re-entry to a rolling sea is quite the workout for the vestibular system

"So what are we looking at"
"Well as you can see, Melinda, this is a giant floaty. We have filled it with air, and these NAVY divers are attaching ropes and carabiners in a very official way, as to facilitate the move from the capsule into the giant floaty."

Oh they won't get in the boats at all, the helicopters will take them straight off the "porch".

I love how calm everyone is, the whole time. Their voices are just steady and down to business. So professional.
I would need so much propranolol to do this job. 😅 (beta blockers, they help your heart not to beat super hard)

In a neat little bit of synchronicity, when the chutes came out, there was a big flash of lightning and boom of thunder in the rain cloud over our house in Oregon. :)

Honestly I want to take a screenshot of this view so that the next time I'm in an airplane that is about to land and I look out the window and feel sick at the height I'm about descend, I can see the screenshot and think, "Hey, it could be worse!" 😆

"Less than nine minutes away from entry interface"
Like if this doesn't make your heart sore with awe and feel kinda sappy about it then you probably don't want to hang out with me

"As the earth grows larger in the field of view" yeah because they're going to be FALLING. My mind can't get over this. My palms literally start to sweat when I think about it, sitting at my desk, on the earth. Tipping out of orbit, like just tipping over a cliff.
This is why I don't want to go to space, lol. When friends get talking about this and begin "what if" questions and I admit I wouldn't actually go up, they ask why and I say it's because it's basically the worst possible fear-of-heights scenario we know of. I like helicopters (yeah, I have been in one). In aviation they're like the horse and carriage of altitude. 😅 (fear of heights doesn't have to be logical)

How cool would it be to be the helicopter pilot that took the astronauts back to the ship, duuuude, that's the job I wish I could have. :)
