328天!NASA女宇航员创女性最长太空飞行纪录 返回地球与爱宠拥抱


After nearly a full year in space, astronaut Christina Koch had a very special reunion(团聚). The 41-year-old space woman shared a video of the happy moment. She was reunited with her dog after her 328-day stay at the International Space Station. “Not sure who was more excited. I’m glad she remembers me after a year!” Koch wrote for the video. She shared it to both Instagram and Twitter.
In the video, Koch’s dog can be seen excitedly pawing at the door as she gets close. When the door is opened, the dog quickly rushes into the arms of Koch. Koch says, “Hi, baby girl!” The dog happily starts barking, jumping around and licking Koch on the face. Koch can’t help but laugh at the reunion.
Koch’s time in space made a history. After she spent 289 days, 5 hours and 1 minute in space, Koch broke the record by astronaut Peggy Whitson. It gave her the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman in history.
