Rubio is scheduled to return to Earth on Wednesday, Sept. 27, after spending 371 days in low Earth orbit, earning him the record of the longest single spaceflight by an American. The previous United States record of 355 days, which Rubio surpassed Sept. 11, was held by NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei. The two had the opportunity to chat earlier this month.
