"Goodbye Lenin" fictionalised the ordinary return to earth of a GDR astronaut as an incidental taxi driver in part of the plot.

It's nice to remember they're people too, even in space you can get the glums, feel like a random connection might be what you need, capcom or not.



There's some great footage of two russian astronauts talking about how much they don't like space while in a Soyuz before docking. I'm on my phone so I can't find it.

I think Scott Kelly is next to them, it was his last trip.


I assume getting there is the worse part of the trip. Even if you're on a Dragon capsule

Ok, getting off the station is probably very stressful and annoying as well, but at least you're going back home



Cosmonauts... sorry!


and "Red Star, Winter Orbit" fictionalizes an extraordinary return to earth of USSR cosmonaut :-)
