On this day!


On this day: 18 June 2016, ESA astronaut Tim Peake, Yuri Malenchenko and Tim Kopra landed in a remote area near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, after six months in space as members of Expedition 46/47 on board the International Space Station. Here Tim talks by satellite phone to friends and family while seated in a chair near his Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft just minutes after landing. See https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/27734564956/
