#TBT Petit flashback sur le départ du Soyouz MS-18 il y a déjà 10 jours. À bord, Oleg raccompagne Klim et Yulia sur Terre. J'ai vu depuis quelques photos de leur arrivée, ils avaient l'air heureux d'être de retour (même si OK ils n’étaient partis que quelques jours : un petit business trip, pas une expédition). Pour nous ce sera sans doute un peu différent, et la réadaptation (physique, sociale) demandera du travail. Ça tombe bien, travailler, c’est ce que je fais de mieux 😁 Ce timelapse est accéléré 12 fois, et si vous regardez bien, vous verrez parfois l’image bouger un peu : je n’étais pas le seul à filmer et les collègues ont dû se cogner dans mon appareil fixé sur un bras rigide
😄
Soyuz MS-18 departing two weekends ago already. Oleg left with Yulia and Klim and I see pictures of them back looking happy and healthy back on Earth. they were only in space for a few days though, a business trip, more than an expedition, for us and Oleg it will be a bit different the physical and social readapting to Earth will require some work. This is a timelapse so it moves 12 times faster than in reality. I wasn’t the only one to film in the Cupola, and where the image shakes a bit is when one of my crewmates bumped the tripod! 😂

I can't imagine what it's like to have MS, though I've known a few people (friends, neighbors, co-workers) afflicted by it (including good Flickr friend Palo (www.flickr.com/photos/paloetic/)
In a sense though, I kind of envision it as the 'Big Bad Wolf', often preying on the young and innocent.
Let's hunt this monster down!
Female Crane Fly (Tipula subgenus Yamatotipula with my best guess being Tipula furca ) - The Space Coast of Florida
A female crane fly with a good look at the head, wing and halteres (the knobby appendages behind the wings that help to keep it properly oriented in flight).
The long legs that many people think are used to trap mosquitoes in flight (some folks call them "Mosquito Hawks") are more likely used to spread their weight so they can float on water while laying their eggs. And in fact, these guys are anatomically incapable of eating (in spite of their scary looking mouth parts), and live only long enough to reproduce before starving to death.
So here's hoping, at least the sex is good! :<∫
We'll see what BugGuide has to say about the ID and post the final decision when it arrives. There's not a lot of Florida Crane Fly pics on BugGuide, so who knows, they may be happy to have this guy!
