knew that despite the astronauts exercise regularly while in the space at the end of their missions when they return to earth after several months in freefall, they need a break adaptation to get used to living under the influence of gravity. 
But I never could have imagined the response to Nancy Broden Douglas Wheelock in a recent # NASATweetup to the question of which body part is more "injured" after six months in space: "The neck. No need to keep your head up in space. "
In addition to STS-120 mission aboard Discovery, Doug Wheelock was on board the International Space Station as flight engineer of Expedition 24 and then as commander of Expedition 25 from the June 17, 2010 until his return to land on 26 November of that year.
More details of that # NASATweetup and Wheelock's comments on NASA Tweetup: @ Astro_Wheels Rocket Star, you can follow on Twitter at @ Astro_Wheels.
