NASA Astronaut Is Back On Earth

CNN News said astronaut Scott Kelly is back on Earth after 340 days in space. He landed in the Kazakhstan desert with two Russian cosmonauts that accompanied him. He could be seen giving thumbs up and pumping his fist after being taken out of the Russian spacecraft that brought them back to Earth. Kelly and both Russian cosmonauts went into immediate field tests. Kelly completed almost a yearlong mission in space, a duration which can affect a person's vision and bones. According to Kelly, he "feels good physically," and shared that "the hardest part is being isolated from the people on the ground who are important to you."
