## Caption

On April 24, 2017, Peggy Whitson broke the record for longest time in space by a U.S. astronaut. She has spent a cumulative 665 days in space, including 10 spacewalks, but she almost didn't become an astronaut. It took five applications over 10 years before she was finally chosen for training.
