NASA-TV showed crisp live video of Jeff, smiling, eating an apple, and talking on a cell phone, presumably to his wife, Anna-Marie, who is in Kazakhstan awaiting his return at Star City (some distance from the actual landing site).
We rejoice with thankfulness to the Lord that they landed safely and we'll post an update as soon as the World's Most-Traveled
PyroManiacs reader phones home.

I am glad they landed safely. Did they ever find out what was floating around up there? Glad they are safe on the ground.
Good news indeed - thanks for posting this more personal update.
Wonderful indeed. The Lord is good.
Prikrasna! Slava Bogu!
We watched the whole process live on NASA-TV from my desk, thankful to God for answered prayer for a safe return.
I hope you will allow him to be a "Guest Blogger" and regale us with some of his adventures as the "Most Traveled Honorary Pyromaniac!"
Hmmm, I smell a comic book cover parody in the works. . . .
Wonderful - answered prayer.
