Imagine having a job so good that you never wanted to come home from work.
For Mike Fincke, this is a reality. Fincke, 54, is a NASA astronaut who has spent over a year in space—at one time holding the national record.
Since reaching space for the first time in 2004, Fincke has travelled aboard Russian Soyuz capsules and NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour orbiter. He is also due to fly on the first crewed flight of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner capsule at the end of this year or the start of 2022.
