Volkov, with his cosmonaut father behind him, heads to the tent.
First video is of Rob Navias!
Just as an FYI, PBS has a few specials on space on Wednesday evening: one on Neil Armstrong (repeat), one on men in space (repeat), and one on 'A Year in Space' featuring Scott Kelly (new).
Post landing interview with Scott and Rob Navias..http://www.space.com/32133-one-year-mission-bittersweet-scott-kelly.htmlScott mentions the smell of fresh air as being one of his early pleasures post landing.....I've heard other astronauts mention this before...seems that smells play an important part in our enjoyment of living in the Earth...I'm wondering if there are any studies or developments underway to provide astronauts on long duration missions with The "Smells of Home"....I'm thinking about bottled or canned smells that an astronaut could pull out of a case to ease that part of us that misses those smells or bring us pleasures....Pine forest in a can ??...freshly baked bread in a bag ??..and yes, even the smell of grass on A Kazak Steppe
