Michael Strahan's presence has been missed in the Good Morning America studios in NYC, but it won't be for long!

The star has been reporting from Easter Island in recent days and while his adventure looks epic - as proven in the video below - his co-stars are likely willing him to return. 

In Michael's absence, Rebecca Jarvis, has stepped in and taken on the hosting gig as the show is fortunate to have plenty of amazing anchors to replace the main stars when they're absent.

The flight was suborbital meaning it would not make it to orbit. But it would go more than 62 miles above earth. After landing back down to earth safely, Michael could be heard saying: "That was beyond. I want to go back."

Michael took treasured possessions with him on the trip, previously revealing that he would take his retired Giants jersey, a Hall of Fame ring, a Super Bowl ring, and "special watches", as well as "the most special thing to me", the shell casings that were fired from the gun at his father's military funeral.
