European Space Agency coverage of preparation and execution of going home from outer space:

Soyuz is NO PLACE for anyone with claustrophobia!
The re-entry capsule is extremely tight and the cosmonauts share space with all their cargo.
How they avoid getting smacked by junk is anyone's guess.
The cosmonauts explain some of this in very matter-of-fact tones.
The re-entry ride is more extreme than any roller-coaster ever conceived, and a LOT more dangerous.
.
How does an astronaut return to Earth from the International Space Station? What does it feel like to re-enter the atmosphere? How does the Soyuz capsule function? Watch and find out. This video is based on an actual lesson delivered to the ESA astronaut class of 2009 (also known as the #Shenanigans09) during their ESA Basic Training. It features interviews with astronauts who have flown on the Soyuz and dramatic footage of actual landings.

I love it that when you're an astronaut you replace the word "terrifying" with "Interesting".

I can't, for the love of anything holy, stop watching this. Maybe my dad was right and I should become a flight and space rocket engineer.

10:30 russian for "absolutely horrifying" seems to be "kind of interesting" 18:20 "the soft landing is not really soft..." understatement of the year looking at those landings

.
This one photo proves how BORING life on the International Space Station really is:
.

While entering and exiting LEO is interesting,  it really doesn't have anything to do eith [sic] flat earth.

All LEO vehicles are traveling in a horizontal circuit above the flat plane because they were propelled the by a rocket. [the by?]

However, I agree that there is no chance we did a docking manuever around the moon in 1969. None.

Hey, Smedley the Chicken! Why are you terrified of the truth? Still trying to run away from the discussion? Sad.

At minute 10:35 a crucial transition is described whereby a great danger exists for collision of the Soyuz with the ISS, potentially wrecking everything and killing everyone. Watch any of the videos from Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 or 17 and try to find any hint of these dangers -- they never mentioned them!

The "Hugs and smiles" at the very end of this video is always curious -- these men have to trust each other with their own lives every minute, as they are surrounded with an entirely inhospitable environment inimical to life itself, right outside the walls. There are hundreds of things each one of the men could do to endanger everyone's life, so they feel compelled to be on the best of terms with each other at all times in a very stressful setting.
