# ci280 With ISS-10 S.Sharipov in Houston after Soyuz TMA-5 return

May 2005.Houston.American home of Russian cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov.
After 192 days on orbit Soyuz TMA-5/ISS-10 cosmonaut Sharipov again Back in The USA for a short week visit.Still looks tired, but happy, optimistic and smiling.

Some of the things cosmonauts miss the most during long flights are simple things we have in everyday life.Hot bath, Fresh fruits and vegetables, Kitchen and cooking.Yes, Cooking!!!.That`s what S.Sharipov does with real professionalism.He does it as good as he flies Soyuz spaceship or MIG fighter plane and perform difficult works during EVA`s and on board of MIR and ISS.

It was really great to see Sharipov back on Earth and in Houston, which he considers as his second home town. Few of several photographs with my old good friend Salizhan I will share here.
