00:09days meaning he now holds the record for longest space flight by a nasa astronaut however while the
00:14record was well earned it was also an accident rubia was supposed to come back from the space
00:19station around six months ago but shortly after he arrived it was clear something was wrong he
00:24launched aboard a soyuz ms-22 spacecraft in september last year and that same spacecraft was
00:30meant to bring him home however in december the spacecraft sprung a leak and began venting some
00:34unknown substance into space that substance turned out to be fuel a leak possibly caused by some sort
00:40of debris striking the spacecraft that's when the momentous task of finding a way to get the
00:45three astronauts back to earth began a process which eventually involved launching an unmanned
00:49rocket up to the station now rubio and the russians are back on earth brought home by a
00:54soyuz ms-23 spacecraft rubio has now overtaken the previous record holder nasa astronaut mark
