Four astronauts landed on Earth after five months in space

Four astronauts have returned to Earth from a five-month mission on the International Space Station (MSS) in a space capsule of the Space-X company.

This morning, after 19 hours of flight, their capsule landed in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico not far from the coast of Florida near Tampa.

The crew, which consisted of astronauts from the USA, Russia and Japan, had to deal with the failure of two Russian capsules that had landed, in addition to the tasks within their mission.

NASA astronaut and the first Indian woman in space, Nicole Mann, said after landing that she couldn't wait to feel the wind, smell the grass and eat delicious food.

Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata joked about sushi, while Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina said she couldn't wait to drink hot tea "from a real cup, not a plastic bag," and NASA astronaut Josh Kasada said he couldn't wait to buy a dog.

The crew was replaced by four astronauts who arrived at the International Space Station ten days ago, where they will spend six months.
