After six months aboard the international space station, an exceptionally long time by NASA standards, astronauts Daniel Bursch and Carl Walz and cosmonaut Yuri Onufrienko are more than ready to return to their home planet and savor Earth's summer delights.
Walz says he and his roommates have gotten along "tremendously well," a pleasant surprise considering "how hard it is to be in one place with just three people for six months." He sometimes retreats to an empty chamber to play the space station's keyboard and guitar, and to get away by himself.
Bursch and Walz, meanwhile, have been talking for months about their craving for pizza and sodas, and how much they miss their families.
