Scott Kelly is set to return to Earth on March 2 after spending nearly a year in space, according to the Daily Mail. Kelly, 52, spent 340 days in orbit around the Earth, and he is now finally coming home.

The astronaut said during a press conference aboard the International Space Station on Thursday that space is a "harsh environment," adding that he never quite felt normal during his stay in the darkness of space.

Kelly compared the experience to a camping trip in terms of hygiene, but he said that he feels like he's in pretty good health. When he returns, however, doctors will examine Kelly to see how well he is, comparing his physical and psychological health with that of his twin brother, former astronaut Mark Kelly, who stayed on Earth.

Though happy to be returning home, there is a part of Kelly that will miss being up above it all, CNN reported.

"Leaving this amazing facility is going to be tough because I'll probably never see it again, and I don't expect I will," Kelly said.

When Kelly returns, he will be able to claim the U.S. record for most consecutive days spent in space. The world record, however, goes to a Russian cosmonaut who was able to go 438 days.

While Kelly claims to be ready to return to solid ground, he has expressed that if he needed to, he could probably do another 100 days, or possibly even a year, according to USA Today.
