With his six-month stay aboard the International Space Station now behind him, German astronaut Matthias Maurer has been talking about what it was like to live and work in space.
It was Maurer’s very first space voyage, so there was much to be excited about as he experienced life in microgravity conditions for the very first time. During the ISS’s six-month Expedition 66, which ran from October to March, Maurer said he and his crewmates took an astonishing 120,000 photos. With that many pictures, the astronaut’s friends and relatives must be dreading the moment he offers to show them his “vacation” shots, though he did add that he’s hoping to put together a “best of” collection.
“Riding through the plasma, I saw all of the colorful light outside the capsule, and then the Gs build up … the parachutes came out and it was a lot of spinning around,” Maurer said.
