As he moved about in space,he kept taking photos with his specially-made camera of what he did and saw.Afterwards he used the life-line to pull himself back to the spaceship.Then the Astra began to fall back.Forty-eight hours after the flight had started,Harry Jackson and his spaceship fell down in the Atlantic,where a waiting helicopter(n.直升飞机)picked him up.
