About halfway through their historic mission, a pair of NASA astronauts are preparing for their return
They've been up there about a month now, floating around on the International Space Station, keeping tabs on their ride home.
One, NASA astronaut Bob Behnken, has taken a pair of spacewalks. The other, Doug Hurley, has turned his Twitter feed into a startling exhibition of Earth art photography.
Both have been monitoring the health of the Dragon spacecraft that ferried them to the station, and will, in a few weeks, carry them home in a perilous second leg of their historic test mission.
On May 30, the pair became the first NASA astronauts to launch on a commercial rocket to the station, hitching a ride on vehicles manufactured by Elon Musk's SpaceX, not NASA.
