Magnus checks out a Russian Sokol space suit in Moscow during training. In the unlikely event that the last shuttle crew had been stranded at the space station, they would have come home one at a time, in Russian Soyuz vehicles, over the course of a year. Based on a complex set of considerations, NASA decided ahead of time that Walheim would come home first, followed by Ferguson, Magnus, and finally Hurley.

This is truly an extraordinary image - one that I have never before seen of any spacecraft from the vantage point of low earth orbit. I hope that the ISS crew was also taking high def video of the event as well! Amazing.
