NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Apparently one of the things NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly missed the most during his year in space was his pool.

On Thursday, Kelly, who returned to Earth on Tuesday after a year living on the International Space Station, posted a video on Twitter of himself side-flopping into his pool in Houston while fully dressed.

"Man that feels good," says Kelly.

The astronaut also posted a photo of a family dinner.

On Friday, he shared a new post with the same video to Facebook but with some more context. 

"Been a busy couple days since I've been back on the planet and at home. After my arrival, I returned to NASA for a few hours of initial medical tests and data collection as part of the ongoing scientific research of my ‪#‎YearInSpace‬. After a long night and early morning, I finally made my way home. Great to be back on Earth. There's no place like home!"
