NASA's SpaceX crew leave treats behind on International Space Station as they splash down after months in orbit
==========

Four astronauts from four different countries, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen from Denmark, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, have safely returned to Earth after 199 days in orbit. The crew left behind treats including peanut butter and tortillas on the International Space Station. The mission, known as Crew-7, involved hundreds of experiments and aimed to gather samples from outside the station, investigate the impact of space on astronauts' sleep, and study the effects of being in orbit on humans. The crew's success is seen as proof that "space unites us all" and is part of NASA's program to improve transportation between Earth and the International Space Station. The next crew, Crew-8, is already in orbit and will conduct around 200 experiments during their mission.
