A tv movie about the lives of these two men against the background of WW1 and the beginning of the theory of relativity.
I have seen it recently. A very good film ! A fine performance by David Tennant as Arthur Eddington and Andy Serkis (Gollum, King Kong) plays a lively Einstein.
An update on Chris Hadfield’s condition by Raffi Kuyumjian, CSA’s Chief Medical Officer and Hadfield’s Flight Surgeon
Chris is already showing noticeable improvement in his walk and equilibrium since yesterday, but it usually takes about 3 weeks until we are confident a returning astronaut can return to driving. He will be driven to where he needs to be until then.
Today is a bit of a lighter day for Chris to help him recover from effects of gravity, as well as the jet-lag and the 24-hour flight to Houston from the landing site. He has a medical check, a 2-hour reconditioning session and short debrief meetings in addition to this morning’s press conference. He needs the rest as tomorrow is a full day of science data collection, medical checks and reconditioning.

You can also see this article about his return. Not easy to feel gravity again !
Causes of death include but are not limited to: pushed down a cliff, suffocated, vaporized by weapons, killed by various aliens, poisoned by exotic plant thorns, struck by lightning, stepped on an exploding rock, beaten by sticks, loss of erythrocytes, turned into a cuboctehedron and then crushed, beamed into open space, and rapid cellular decay.
I saw Star Trek Into Darkness. I liked it, for the most part, with some reservations. There are some great action scenes. I found the characters interactions generally good, but sometimes there is a little something lacking. Good performances of Karl Urban as McCoy and Benedict Cumberbatch. And Scotty is very sympathetic.
more comment after the break, with moderate SPOILERS.
