Former Nasa astronaut Scott Kelly took part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything, answering questions online from members of the public.
The 54-year-old commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on three expeditions and has spent 340 consecutive days in space.
He touched upon his life on board the ISS, shared his opinions on everything from space tourism to flat-Earthers, and waded into the Star Wars vs Star Trek debate.
