Watch astronaut Scott Kelly land on Earth after spending almost a year in space

Astronaut Scott Kelly and Cosmonaut Mikhail-Kornienko returned to Earth after spending almost an entire year in space. Scientists plan on studying Kelly and his twin brother – who remained on Earth – to see what effect long exposure to space has on the body. Cosmonaut Sergey Volkov also returned with them, having spent almost half a year at the International Space Station.
