   Yes, this is TM-10, and TM-11 is the one that slammed to Earth this weekend.

   Spiking 10Gs = serious ouchies, but for several minutes without a G-suit could have seriously bad health results. If the couch layout is similar to the old Soyuz I’m familiar with then they are at least fully reclined and shock-mounted… but yikes; what an unpleasant welcome home. I hope they end up OK.

   And here are some emergency directions from NASA just in case you happen to find a Soyuz capsule that just landed in the U.S. including knock knock signaling.

   An interesting footnote: in the ASTP materials for the Soyuz descent capsule circa 1975, they have changed the word "Man" to the more gender-inclusive "People"
   …but it is in a different handwriting, and only for the English! The Cyrillic looks like the same as my photo, begging the question as to how this happened. Maybe they were not as liberated as they claimed on the Soviet side.

   A Soyuz landing in the middle of America happens in this graphic novel, but it was purposeful
