About this episode
Australian Astronaut Eric Philips shares his experiences of orbiting the Earth.
Australian Astronaut Eric Philips tells us what it is like to orbit the Earth! "After nearly four days on-orbit, Dragon and the Fram2 crew safely splashed down at 9:19 a.m. PT off the coast of Oceanside, California, completing the first human spaceflight mission to explore Earth from a polar orbit and fly over the Earth’s polar regions. This was also Dragon’s first West Coast recovery since 2019 and the first Dragon human spaceflight mission to splash down in the Pacific Ocean." - https://ericphilips.com
