237 days up there and back on solid ground for just a week. I'd love to hear what the first proper shower felt like 🤣

237 days in orbit is a huge stretch. Curious which experiments the crew found most rewarding during their time on the station.

imagine stepping on solid ground after 8 months and gravity feels like a personal attack

I see what a theme looks like . 237 days , not a record but the essential is experiments. How many were positive in this environment (Space) ? There's no pushing the envelope until humans move beyond the Moon because it's numbers that most can't comprehend. How many of those experiments failed ? @NASA

"Gravity is overrated." A week after 237 days in space, Jessica Meir says lifting her arms felt like 50 pounds each. The cosmonaut beside her said it's hard just to stand on one leg. What would you miss most about weightlessness?

Gravity Is Overrated

A week ago, four people fell out of the sky into the Pacific after 237 days in space. Today three of them sat down in Houston and talked about what it's like to come home.

Pressers used to mean a hotel ballroom and a mic check. This one's from people who just spent 237 days in orbit.

Ten months in orbit and then a press room, that's a long way to go for questions.

237 days in orbit, curious how their bodies adapted after return.

Glad everyone made it back safe and sound!

Eight months of readjusting to gravity is the part nobody sees, and it is where the real science continues.

Beutiful sky in Earth's

237 days in orbit, and the body still comes home working. Bones, blood, balance all pushed to the limit. The human frame is engineered with a margin few machines match.

237 days at about 17,500 mph means Crew-12 traveled roughly 100 million miles, which is farther than Earth is from the Sun. They also circled the planet about 3,700 times, so they saw around 3,700 sunrises without ever leaving the neighborhood.

237 days in orbit and back on the ground a week later answering questions. Welcome home, Crew-12. Looking forward to hearing what surprised them most.

237 days in orbit is no small feat. Huge respect to the Crew-12 team for the science and the endurance. The real work continues on the ground during readaptation.

237 days living above the clouds. I'd love to hear what they missed most about Earth 🌍

237 days and the hard part is probably coming home to gravity again. what surprised them most about their own bodies on return?

Live press event after 237 days off planet is bold. Half the questions will be science, half will be bathroom logistics.

237 days at 16 orbits a day is about 3,800 laps of Earth for Crew-12 before splashdown.

Sorry but I don't agree with the term "space is hard" , whoever coined that deserves a slap . Tell that idiot to go build something at the bottom of the Mariana Trench . He'll quickly figure out the meaning of hard .

Months sharing a spacecraft. Down here, sharing an armrest is a diplomatic crisis. There’s hope for this species. Just not in economy.

237 days in orbit is an incredible achievement their experiences will inspire the next generation of space explorers and push human space exploration even further jsg now

在轨237天后，机组返航时最明显的适应变化会落在平衡感还是肌力上？

算笔账：空间站 90 分钟绕地球一圈，237 天下来他们在天上绕了将近 3800 圈。绕完 3800 圈回来，第一件事是坐下来回答记者提问，这心理素质也是没谁了。欢迎回家！

Thank you for sharing.

#askNASA Can you comment on your internet access on ISS? Do you make your social media posts yourself directly aboard? What speeds do you get? What about durations of signal loss?

237 days off the planet. Walking on Earth again must feel like the floor is a rumor.

237 days in space and then straight to the newsroom. Gravity welcomes them

Is Crew 12 working for NASA or SpaceX? Every time you tout SpaceX by calling them the SpaceX crew, you are giving a vendor free ads. If I had my way, my taxpayer dollar would not go to private contractors bilking billions from our government. It would go directly to fund NASA.

Crew-12 spent 237 days in space and still had better living conditions than half of russia. zero gravity, zero potholes, zero vatniks.

237 days is a long time to be stuck in a tin can.
