As Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla returns from his groundbreaking mission aboard the International Space Station, a lighthearted moment from space has captured attention online.

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers shared a photo of Shukla’s zero-gravity haircut, calling it a memorable part of their time together in orbit. “We said goodbye to our #Ax4 friends today. I was just reminiscing on the haircuts from last weekend! After a long quarantine, I think it was nice for them,” she posted on X, along with a smiling emoji.

In a playful tone, Ayers added, “We joked about how I might have a future in the haircutting business when I get back on Earth, but the reviews are still out.”
