Christina Koch just set a record for the longest spaceflight by a woman

CNN  

CNN — NASA astronaut Christina Koch made history Saturday, setting the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. “We see another aspect of how the human body is affected by microgravity for the long term, and that’s really important for our future spaceflight plan going forward to the moon and to Mars.” According to NASA’s schedule, Koch will remain on the station until February 2020, falling just shy of the longest single spaceflight by a NASA astronaut: 340 days, set by Scott Kelly. It can be rewarding for you personally, and it usually means that you’re giving something back to the world in the maximum way possible.” This isn’t the first time Koch has been a record breaker. Koch said she hopes the record for longest spaceflight by a female astronaut will be exceeded again as soon as possible again, because it means “we’re continuing to push those boundaries.”
