Drew shared the video on December 21 titled: "Welcome home Soyuz MS09! On October 5 this is what I looked like walking heel-toe eyes closed after 197 days on ISS during the field test experiment. I hope the newly returned crew feels a lot better."

The three members of the Expedition 56 crew returned safely to earth from the International Space Station (ISS). They had spent months providing hands-on support for scientific research in low-earth orbit, working to keep the orbiting laboratory fully operational, and performing three spacewalks.
