When the ISS crew return on the Soyuz Rockets, they are obviously not able to walk due to being up there for 130+ days with no gravity...I was wondering how long it will take them to be able to work again

Is Climate Change responsible for the shift in the Jet Stream?

Walk again*****

A two week mission results in 'several days' before being able to walk normally. After a six month mission it can take several weeks. It's not so much lack of muscle power, but the sense of balance is affected, resulting in dizzy spells, it seems.
