Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko have their feet on the ground for the first time in 340 days. Riding in a Russian spacecraft, they made it back to Kazakhstan. It is the longest time that humans have spent living on the International Space Station. Now, Kelly also holds the record for the longest time that an American has spent in space: 520 days in space, over four missions.
After being taken out of the spaceship, they were put in special chairs while they start getting used to Earth’s gravity(重力) again. They were to be examined and tested before Kelly is flown home to the United States. After that, Kelly said he wanted to go home and jump into his swimming pool.
We will find out more about his journey when he talks to the media on this coming Friday. In his last press conference(新闻发布会) from space, Kelly talked about the difficulties of living on the ISS for a year. He called it “a bad environment with only a small personal space”. “Probably almost half the time I’ve been here between sleeping and working on the computer. I’ve spent in a box, the size of a phone booth,” he said. he feels “pretty good physically”, and the hardest part is being lonely.
Kelly and Kornienko performed scientific experiments including growing flowers and lettuce(生菜).
