NASA‘s Christina Koch returned to Earth yesterday after 328 straight days in space, a new record for female astronauts.

She also took part in the first all-female spacewalk while she was up there. Koch completed six spacewalks in total and spent 42 hours and 15 minutes outside of the station.

NASA posted a video of her being carried to a chair after landing. Obviously she hasn’t used her legs in a while.

This journey has been everyone’s journey. Thank you to all involved in the success of our mission, and for giving me the opportunity to carry everyone’s dreams into space. I’m filled with gratitude to be back on the planet! pic.twitter.com/Mo2pk152vv

A public memorial for Kobe Bryant and the victims of his fatal helicopter crash will be held on February 24th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The date 2/24 is symbolic because those are the jersey numbers that were worn by Bryant’s daughter, Gianna, and him.

Burger King is running a promotion on Valentine’s Day where they’ll give you a free Whopper, if you bring in a picture of your ex and put it into a “breakup box.”

They’re only offering the deal at a few stores in New York, L.A., San Francisco, and Boston though. But you can take a quick quiz on their app on Valentine’s Day to get a free Whopper as well.
