Their replacements arrived three weeks late because of capsule repairs, stalling this crew\u2019s homecoming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They couldn\u2019t wait to feel the breeze on their faces, hit the shower and, for Adenot at least, plunge back into water sports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are so excited to be back on Planet Earth after an incredible mission on the International Space Station,\u201d Meir radioed moments after splashing down. While still in orbit, she said the crew had \u201ca lot of mixed, swirling emotions\u201d and would miss the \u201cextraordinary views of our home planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four were out of their capsule within an hour, waving and pumping their fists in the air aboard SpaceX\u2019s recovery ship. After a helicopter ride to shore, they were going to head for Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meir and her crew left the planet in February to replace four station occupants who were sent home early after one of them \u2014 NASA\u2019s Mike Fincke, now retired \u2014 fell ill. It was NASA\u2019s first medical evacuation in 65 years of human spaceflight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new foursome watched with pride two months later as the Artemis II astronauts flew around the moon. They also celebrated the United States\u2019 250th birthday up there, with Meir joining the Boston Pops with her piccolo for a Fourth of July concert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meir took part in four spacewalks, while Adenot ventured outside three times for maintenance and upgrades to the 28-year-old outpost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the middle of all the work, the astronauts found time for fun, throwing a dance party last month and holding regular cooking demonstrations complete with aprons and a chef\u2019s toque.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meir presented a how-to video for curly-haired spacewomen like herself, while Hathaway kept his bushy mustache \u2014 a space rarity \u2014 groomed to perfection. He grew the naval aviator-style mustache before rocketing into orbit as a way to honor his Navy ties, and found it no harder to maintain in weightlessness than on Earth. Some ground controllers grew mustaches in solidarity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will his mustache disappear now that his mission is over?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s kind of become a little bit of my brand up here,\u201d Hathaway said in August, \u201cso I don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll go away right away or I\u2019ll end up keeping it for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven astronauts remain aboard the space station, representing the U.S., Russia and Canada. The outpost has welcomed 298 visitors from 26 countries since the doors swung open in 2000, by NASA\u2019s count.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Associated Press\u2019 health and science coverage receives financial support from the AP Fund for Journalism and private foundations.
