Terry Werts, Colonel, former astronaut, space shuttle pilot and commander of the International Space Station, spent 200 days in space. Colonel Werts talks about how to survive the first encounter with weightlessness (in the so-called “vomit comet”), about the indescribable delight at the moment of the first launch, about how to cope with daily tasks - eating, water procedures, “household” chores, going to the bathroom - about all the ordinary things you have to do in unusual conditions, orbiting the Earth at a speed of 28,000 km/h at an altitude of just over 400 km. And also about how to put on a spacesuit and go into outer space, how to prepare for any emergency situations - from controlling the “cosmic mind” to what to do with the body of a deceased crew member, how to return and adapt to life on Earth, including things as simple at first glance as an ordinary walk after six months spent in zero gravity.
