Her time in space really taught her what truly matters in life. She continued, “It helps you to recognize every day how special what you have is, which then, in turn, makes you feel you need to bring your best to meet that every single day.”

Christina set a record for the longest spaceflight by a woman. She also made history during the first all-female spacewalk with fellow astronaut Jessica Meir. Now, NASA will observe any long-term effects of the spaceflight on a woman with Christina.
