After 185 days aboard the International Space Station, two Russian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut returned to Earth early Saturday morning. NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan at 12:55 a.m. EDT after departing the station in the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft at 9:34 p.m. EDT. In a blog post on Saturday, NASA reported that, pending medical checks, the crew would split up. Rubins — the first person to sequence DNA in space — will return home to Houston, Texas and Ryzhikov and Kud-Sverchkov will fly back to their training base in Star City, Russia. Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said all three were feeling well after they were extracted from the capsule, according to The Associated Press.
