Scott Kelly reflects on return to Earth after record 340 days in space [i]Scott Kelly took a breath in and smelled something he didn't recognize. "It smells like a fragrance, like a plant was blooming in that area," the NASA astronaut said, recalling his first moments being back on the Earth after nearly a year in space. "The air was refreshing because it was cool — and it was different than the air I experienced for the last 340 days," he said. "[But] that was the smell of burning Soyuz. It is the charred smell of the Soyuz. It has kind of a sweet smell to it."[/i]
