32 hours in space, and no new fotage.
Gues TV coverage still, is not a priority in the russian space program…
Andreas seems so happy 🙂
Andreas is so cool!
Andreas has such a genuine smile! They dock in just a few hours… they must be so excited right about now. Even though it's a week-long mission, I hope we get lots of videos. 🙂
Vi ses igen (see you soon) Andreas Mogensen, the coolest Dane around.
Poor guys with all this standing-photo shooting, going 5 meters and photo shooting again… Let them speak and farewell with their families, and fly already!
what's up with 1:15 what is happening exact there if someone can explain to me?
Extraordinary people.
2:14 "Har du det godt?" – Are you alright? (in a pedagogical way , not panicky). "Vi ses igen" – We'll see each other again.
8:36 (his wife) "Ja, og han har prøvet dette mange gange før" – Yes, and he has tried this many times before.
