South Korea's first astronaut Yi So-Yeon has been admitted to hospital
with severe back pains caused by her rough return voyage to Earth,
officials said Tuesday.

So the landing was pretty rough, even with a nominal retrorocket burn
and nominal parachute

Let the law suits begin.

Which reminds me - is it still true that astronauts can't get life
insurance? I believe that was true in the 60s. I may have picked
this up from watching FTETTM or some such other reputable source...
