1. "During descent I saw some kind of fire outside as we were going through the atmosphere," said Yi So-yeon, the first South Korean to have completed a spaceflight. "At first I was really scared because it looked really, really hot and I thought we could burn."
2. "They were very surprised and could not believe their eyes," Malenchenko said. "One of them asked if the landing capsule was a boat. Another said that we might have jumped down from a plane," Malenchenko said. When he told them they were astronauts, "They nodded but then asked again where we had come from. They could not believe that we had been to space. They believed us only when they saw the spacesuits."
3. All three members of the crew walked slowly and were unsteady when arriving for the news conference at Russia's Star City cosmonaut training center outside Moscow. Medics who flanked them ensured they didn't fall.
What was more disturbing was the fact when they landed off target how they had to retreive their phone to call home so they can come and get them!!!!!!! Am I the only person who dosen't understand this. You would imagine the spacecraft is supposed to have a locator beacon inside that would immeditalty be tripped.
