First Korean astronaut Yi So Yeon returned to earth ther other day. The neophyte space farer told reporters the following:
“During descent I saw some kind of fire outside as we were going through the atmosphere. At first I was really scared because it looked really, really hot and I thought we could burn.”
Scary stuff! Apparently the bumpy ride was due to a steep return trajectory. All the astronauts arrived home safely despite the “ballistic reentry.”
Now hopefully Yi So Yeon can look forward to a celebrator return to Korea and the Parade and cheers she deserves.
