"Astronaut Frank Rubio Sets New US Record with Year-Long Space Mission"

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has broken the U.S. record for the longest spaceflight, surpassing 355 days, 3 hours, and 45 minutes. Rubio is also set to become the first American and one of only six people to spend a year in space, returning to Earth after 371 days in Earth orbit. Rubio's extended stay on the International Space Station will provide valuable insights into how the human body adapts to long-duration space missions as NASA prepares for future missions to the moon and Mars.
