When Rubio finally touches down Sept. 27 in a replacement capsule, he will have spent 371 days in space.
When Rubio and two Russian cosmonauts blasted off for the International Space Station last September, Rubio thought he'd be coming home in six months. But then, the Soyuz spacecraft sprung a leak, and Rubio's ride home was sent back to Earth empty.
The previous record — 355 days — was held by NASA's Mark Vande Hei. Rubio, a medical doctor and former Army helicopter pilot and skydiver who grew up in Miami also becomes just one of six people to spend an entire year in space.
