Record-breaking astronaut Christina Koch returns to Earth

The numbers are impressive. 328 days in space, 5,248 orbits around the Earth, 42 hours and 15 minutes working outside the International Space Station, and six spacewalks, all more than any other woman in space.

Those are all the records that astronaut Christina Koch owns after a recent mission aboard the ISS. Koch returned to Earth after nearly a year off-planet.

The previous record was 288 days by Peggy Whitson.

Koch told the Associated Press that she was looking forward to eating chips and salsa when she gets back to Earth.
