@IBallantyn Done that been there - I was by the window and got out last as inside seats came straight past me. Having done the SM tank many times I gave them a shove up the backside and followed in my own time. Much worse was being hung on a strop to transfer across open water from SM to FF

Eileen Gu training in China in preparation for the Milan Olympic cycle. MAGAs claim the US provided her with training and the "freedom" whatever that means, to do what she does. But all I see is China and her mom funding the training for her.

My highlight of the week: helicopter-under water escape training 🌊🚁 After returning from space, astronauts typically land with their spacecraft in the ocean. We are retrieved by an incredible team of Flight Surgeons and Crew Support Officers, who pick us up by helicopter and bring us safely back to land. And as always, we also prepare for things that might go wrong there. Training to escape from a capsized helicopter is essential not only for astronauts, but for the entire crew involved. In the event of an emergency water landing, the team only has a few seconds to get out -helicopters are top-heavy, so they can overturn and sink quickly. To prepare us for every possible scenario, the instructors challenged us in all kinds of ways: tinted goggles that block visibility, climbing out through a different window than the one next to us, escaping without using our emergency air supply, and more. All of it designed to help us stay calm and focused - no matter what might happen in an emergency. It’s the kind of training no one ever hopes to use in real life, but if you do, it’s absolutely critical. European Space Agency
