"It might take a couple of days before I'm somewhat normal, but the reality is it's going to take anywhere from two to six months of really intense rehab to get back to my normal, and that's just part of the process.
So after 12 months that can be a challenge," he said.
"After about six months in space, most people have a little bit of a hard time with their vestibular system and their equilibrium. (Polyakov, who died in 2022, still holds the record for the longest single space mission at 437 days.)Ī former flight surgeon, Rubio said he expects his return home to be a challenge. Soviet-era cosmonauts Sergey Avdeev, Musa Manarov, Vladimir Titov and Valery Polyakov each logged more than 365 days on the former space station Mir. Rubio's Soyuz MS-23 crewmates, Prokopyev and Petelin, are the sixth and seventh Russians to spend a year in space and the first two to do so on the International Space Station. Kelly's 340 days was planned from the start as a means of gathering physiological data about the effects of a longer duration spaceflight on the human body. Vande Hei's 355 days surpassed Scott Kelly's mission that spanned 2015 to 2016.

Rather than an incapacitated spacecraft, though, Vande Hei's extended stay was to accommodate a Russian movie crew's visit to the station and to protect against a crew rotation schedule that could leave the complex without an American on board. Like Rubio, Vande Hei also did not know he would be spending nearly a year in space when he launched to the space station. Ideal for adult builders, the new set is a detailed recreation of the STS-31 mission which launched in 1990 and saw the Discovery space Shuttle and its five crew members.

"His leadership up here has been incredible. And partway through his mission, he found out that it was extended to a year," said NASA astronaut Warren "Woody" Hoburg, during an on-orbit press conference preceding his return to Earth after six months on Sept. "Frank thought when he flew to space, he would be here for six months. (Their departure on Soyuz MS-23 will mark the beginning of Expedition 70). Rather than serve on just the Expedition 67 and 68 crews, the three also became part of Expedition 69. 23 and Prokopyev, Petelin and Rubio's stay on the station was extended another six months.

14, as Prokopyev and Petelin were preparing for a spacewalk, Russian flight controllers received telemetry showing that the exterior coolant system for the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft was losing pressure. Riding aboard Russia's Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, Rubio and his crewmates - Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin - were then slated to return to Earth after about six months on the space station. Rubio launched on this flight, his first, on Sept.

So, if you see it for sale for a not ridiculous price, we can’t recommend it enough.
Moon landing buffs should take note of the number of pieces it’s made from, even – that’s the care and love that was clearly poured into this set. Normally, we wouldn’t recommend things that aren’t actually available anymore, but this is easily the best space set Lego has ever made, and you can find it for sale online since it's only a recent retirement, so we kind of have to mention it.Ī full metre long when complete, this scale model of the Saturn V is utterly awesome, and meticulously detailed – from its recreation of every portion of the multi-stage rocket, to the little dioramas of the lunar module on the moon and the command module in the sea after a touchdown… and all with microscale figures, as a reminder that this is all to scale! It has been retired – possibly forever, possibly not, but definitely don’t expect it back soon. Here’s the thing: this the this NASA set is no longer made by Lego.
