Earlier this morning you MIGHT have heard of a certain Major Tim Peake returning to Earth after spending six months as Britain's first astronaut to fly into space without a private contract.
His time on the International Space Station came to an end today though as his Soyuz capsule was confirmed touched down on Earth at 10.15.
Since then he's been sat in a field in Kazakhstan drinking lots of water, having medical check ups and talking to his family on the phone.
But what does it feel like to return to Earth after six months in space? Well, his first comments will tell you a lot. After a crowd of reporters started shouting questions at the three astronauts, Peake simply responded:

"It was incredible, the best ride I've ever been on ever. Truly amazing. A life-changing experience.
"The smell on Earth is really strong. I'm now looking forward to seeing the family.
"I'm going to miss the view, definitely.
"I'd like some cool rain right now, it's very hot in the suit. It's very hot in the capsule."

He concluded by saying he'd really like an ice cold beer - after tea, that's about the most British thing a man could want.

Peake returned to Earth alongside Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Timothy Kopra.
Malenchenko has now become one of the most experienced spacemen in history, having spent more than 800 days in space over several missions.

Peake has brought back with him microorganisms and organic molecules that had been sat outside the ISS during his time in outer space. The study hopes to find whether microorganisms can survive extreme conditions like outer space.
All three crew members are said to be extremely relaxed following the landing.
Looking at the state of the capsule that brought them back, you'd think they'd be a little more distressed.

And with that Major Tim Peake has to re-adjust to living on Earth again. Things have weight again, bro - it's as simple as that.
