Due to lower back pain, rehabilitation has slowed down, but other data collection continues.
Compared to a week ago, my sense of balance has significantly improved.
Last time, I was almost entirely relying on vision to maintain balance, but now I can clearly feel my semicircular canals taking over, even with my eyes closed.

I think this semicircular canal is extremely well-designed. 
It is said that humans detect the rotation of their bodies through the movement of the lymph fluid inside it, but in a weightless state, the behavior of the lymph fluid should naturally differ from that on Earth. 

When I first went to space, I believe that because the brain tries to interpret signals from the semicircular canals using the same logic as on Earth, a discrepancy arises between my actual posture and the information obtained from vision, leading to space sickness.

After a few days, the logic processed by the brain is adjusted to a zero-gravity specification, allowing it to correctly convert signals from the semicircular canals into posture information, and from then on, space sickness no longer occurs�that�s the hypothesis based on my own experience. 
Wait, does that mean what�s amazing isn�t so much the semicircular canals but our brains? 😅

After spending almost five months in space, NASA�s SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts will discuss their science mission aboard the International Space Station during a news conference at the agency�s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

That's wild he got to stay in Huston until they were ready to send him off. They usually put them on a plane from Kazakhstan to Germany, Japan or U.S.A if they are on a Soyuz.

Today, I went through rehab, a press conference, and passed the doctor's driving test, so I can now drive on my own ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎ 
While driving, I often have to turn my head sharply for rear checks, but right after returning, doing this makes me dizzy all at once, so it�s considered a taboo action 😵‍💫 
It seems my body can�t properly adjust to the Coriolis effect 🤔

Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov is back in Star City

August 20, 2025

Today, August 20, 2025, Kirill Peskov arrived at the Cosmonaut and Astronaut Cosmonaut Training Center's pre-launch and post-flight rehabilitation complex after his flight from the United States. The cosmonaut was met by friends and family, teammates, the Center's management and specialists, and media representatives.

Kirill Peskov completed a space expedition under the cross-flight program. Hero of the Soviet Union, Hero of Russia, USSR pilot-cosmonaut, Deputy Director General of the Roscosmos State Corporation for Manned Programs Sergei Krikalev told journalists about its continuation:

"We are now meeting cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, who flew to the ISS and returned on an American ship. In the same way, Americans fly with us on Soyuz ships, so the cross-flight program continues. These flights have proven their feasibility."

Kirill Peskov was greeted with bread and salt. Then the journalists asked several questions. They were interested in impressions from the cosmonaut's first flight, the implementation of the scientific program, and work on the cross-flight program.

"NASA's flight training school is different from ours. And it was interesting to look at it from the inside, participate in the process and draw conclusions for myself. I hope to be useful in the future, taking the best from there and from us, so that in the end we can fly safer, higher, further and more often," said Kirill Peskov.

The cosmonaut was met by his family. His wife Olga said that her husband's first space journey was one of the most vivid moments and memories in his life.

�There was a feeling of euphoria and incredible happiness that the person closest to you had such a huge life dream come true. I can say that Kirill's landing was much more exciting for me than the launch. And when the broadcast of their descent was sometimes interrupted and they were not shown in the cabin so often, I was very worried. More than at the launch," Olga Peskova shared her emotions.

Kirill Peskov is currently feeling well; the cosmonaut will continue his post-flight rehabilitation and undergo a series of medical and scientific tests at the Cosmonaut Training Center.

Let us recall that Kirill Peskov returned from orbit on August 9, 2025. In accordance with the agreement on cross-flights between Roscosmos and NASA, he made his space flight on the American spacecraft Crew Dragon, becoming part of the Crew-10 mission, the duration of which was 147 days.

At the Johnson Space Center, astronaut Jim has an underwater treadmill that can adjust its depth and speed based on the body's recovery condition. 
Even when dealing with knee or hip pain, like I am now, it allows for exercise with reduced strain. Additionally, the walking form can be checked through a window. Grateful for this equipment 😯

Activities as Crew-10 still remain, but little by little, we are starting to return to our daily routines.
On Monday this week, Kirill returned to Russia.
As fellow Boeing 767 pilots, I feel a special bond with him. I look forward to the day when I can meet him again.
