Three space travelers are safely back on Earth after a 115-day stay on the International Space Station.
Returning on a Russian Soyuz space capsule, U.S. astronaut Kate Rubins of NASA, Russian cosmonaut and Expedition 49 Commander Anatoly Ivanishin of Roscosmos and Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi landed near Kazakhstan at 9:58 a.m. local time on Sunday (Oct. 30), or 11:58 p.m. EDT (0358 GMT). You can see how the landing went in this NASA video.
"Touchdown confirmed," NASA spokesman Rob Navias said during the agency's landing webcast commentary. "After a journey of 115 days and 48.9 million miles, the Expedition 49 crew is home."

I believe this is all fabricated and staged. I have not seen evidence for such a thing as "space", as this is advertised by the different space agencies. I have repeatedly caught them hiding or trying to distort and manipulate footage, and all that secrecy shrouding the "ISS", a civilian installation, does not make sense. I demand of them that they do the one honest thing left to do, which is come clean, tell the truth for once and explain why they have been lying.
