Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk is back on earth after a Canadian record stay of 189 days in space. After his six-month stay on the International Space Station, he and two crewmates landed safely in an icy field of grass in northern Kazakhstan on December 1, 2009. Helicopters were grounded because of the weather conditions, so Thirsk was loaded by stretcher onto a heavy-duty vehicle, where he slept for the four-hour ride to Moscow to be reunited with his family. It is expected that it will take Thirsk three weeks or so to be able to get back to normal activities after so long a stretch in space, and it will probably be another six months to a year before his bone mass is back to normal.
