How does your body adjust to Earth gravity after 170 days in space? For NASA’s Bob Hines, it felt like his feet were stuck to “giant electromagnets,” for one.

Bob Hines served as the pilot on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station, which concluded on Oct. 14, 2022. The mission was the first spaceflight for Hines. He logged 170 days in space, overseeing the arrival of crew and cargo, maintaining the space station, and conducting science experiments of various disciplines.
