Furukawa looked happy, but exhausted and very weak / frail.

I wonder how it feels to be back on earth after spending 5 months in zero gravity.

Dr. Furukawa is almost 50 years old. He should be a hero and inspiration to all students of science and medicine throughout Japan. Sadly, none of my students know who he is or that he was on the ISS. But they all know Ai-chan. Go figure.

From past reports, we know that some people feel very bad for some days, while readjusting to the gravity. The reasons are still researched. Furukawa might well be one those people.

He has't gravity, because her muscles are atrophy. Also he has overload. That is normal situation.
