Watched "Apollo 13". Great Film. A Ron Howard film.

From the smell of freshly cut grass to walking the dog on a rainy day, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are looking forward to experiencing the weather after spending more than nine months in space.

"Part of the reasons I miss my dogs is I get to take them on a walk and when I take them on a walk, sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's hot," Williams added. "I'm looking forward to feeling all that weather from Earth."

"You kind of miss the smell of fresh cut grass, and those type of things that just you kind of take for granted," Wilmore explained. "You don't have that up here, so [I'm] looking forward to just some of those basics."
