US astronaut sets record for stint in space
Wednesday, 13 September 2023 19:24
The astronaut Frank Rubio broke the record for the longest in orbit mission by an American, spending more than 355 days aboard the International Space Station.
"In some ways, it's been an incredible challenge. But in other ways, it's been an incredible blessing," Rubio said Wednesday from the ISS during a chat with NASA that was broadcast live.
Having broken the old record Monday, Rubio said he was now looking forward to reaching 365 days.

In work published in Science Advances, a team of researchers have determined a new pressure scale, which is critical for understanding the Earth's composition. Using x-rays from a uniquely powerful spectrometer at RIKEN's SPring-8 Center they avoided some of the large approximations of previous work, discovering that the previous scale overestimated pressure by more than 20% at 230 gigapascals (
