Astronaut Craves Chips N' Salsa After Record 11 Months In Space
SPACE (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - After nearly 11 months in orbit, the astronaut holding the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman can't wait to dig into some salsa and chips.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch is also looking forward to swimming and surfing in the Gulf of Mexico.
She told The Associated Press on Tuesday that taking part in the first all-female spacewalk was the highlight of her mission.
Koch has lived on the International Space Station since last March. She returns to Earth on Feb. 6. Her 328-day mission is the second-longest by an American, trailing Scott Kelly's flight by just 12 days.
In addition to chips and salsa, it appears Koch has a bit of a sweet tooth, having baked "space cookies" while in orbit.
