NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has finally returned home from a 371-day stay on the International Space Station — a record for an American — after being trapped when his ride home was damaged.

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and his crew completed an extraordinary 371-day space mission, surpassing NASA's previous record for the longest time a US astronaut has spent in space.

Frank Rubios six-month mission ended up taking over a year due to a spacecraft mishap. Upon landing, he said it was "good to be home" and admitted that he never would have agreed to a full year in space if asked at the outset.

After spending 371 days on the ISS and orbiting Earth 5,936 times, Rubio arrived in Kazakhstan alongside his two Russian crewmates Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin.
