'Astronaut Buzz Lightyear is in the longest space

Buzz Lightyear, the toy star in Disney's Toy Story, returned to Earth after 15 months of exploding stars, setting the record for the longest space astronaut ever.

Lightyear was on the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS) 30 days more than any astronaut in space. Launched on a space shuttle Discovery in May 2008, Lightyear returned to Earth on September 11. During his stay in ISS, Lightyear supported the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) education program - STEM (Science, Engineering, Engineering and Mathematics) - by creating a series of displays. Funny education for children in America.
