Dzhezkazgan - France's Claudie Haignere, the first European woman on the International Space Station, returned safely to Earth yesterday. "It all went very well," Ms Haignere (44) said as she and her two Russian partners on the 10-day mission were placed in special cushioned chairs and fur-lined bags to help them readjust to Earth's gravity. "There wasn't very much time," she said on returning from her second space shot. "I would have liked to have had more time to live among the crew and to be able to look at the Earth through the porthole."
