TL;DR Summary

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, along with two Russian crewmates, has returned to Earth after completing a record-breaking 371-day mission at the International Space Station (ISS). Rubio's mission was extended due to a coolant leak in the Soyuz spacecraft, which required a replacement to be sent to the ISS. The crew finally returned to Earth after undocking from the space station and landing in Kazakhstan. This marks the longest single spaceflight ever undertaken by an American astronaut and the third-longest mission in the history of human spaceflight.
