After spending nearly 11 months in orbit aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Christina Koch returned to Earth Thursday, parachuting into Kazakhstan with two crewmates aboard a Soviet Soyuz capsule.
Koch set a record for the single longest female stay in space and says the milestones she achieved are a tribute to the pioneering women who came before her.
