Welcome Home: Japanese Astronaut Takuya Onishi Readapting to Earth Gravity
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi, former Crew-10 member and commander of Expedition 73 at the International Space Station: "About 10 hours after returning, I was able to walk this much, but I’m desperately trying to keep my balance. Everyone living in such a harsh environment, you’re truly amazing. I feel like just “being” in this world consumes so much energy. 😅 I get tired and sleepy after a little activity, so I feel like a baby."
