On Tuesday, March 1, Kelly is scheduled to undock with the International Space Station. Less than four hours later, he'll be back on Earth, in Kazakhstan.

During his time in space, Kelly drank nearly 200 gallons of recycled urine and sweat and traveled over 140 million miles, according to The New York Times. Here are some more extreme numbers from the NYT about Kelly's historic time in space:
