Most impressive is his ability to deal with the physical hardships in space. In space most people lose around 1.5% of their bone mass per month, even with a disciplined exercise regime. And growing the bone mass lost from a 6 month stint back, can take a long time."

-I read about the effects of staying long term in space and it's not pretty. Bravo.
- You know those Russians. They're built like tanks ;)

This guy is the friggin Bruce Willis of cosmonauts.
Odd. He came to our school today to give a talk (he looks alot different from that photo! :D), along with a Canadian, but the Canadian said that Sergei was second in the longest in space, with 765 days of space time - Sergei did not correct him on this. Now, is this info wrong, or was Sergei just too polite to correct a fellow astronaut? 86.137.232.197 21:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- That photo was taken about ten years ago when he flew on STS-88. He was also being nice since he does have the most time in space. -MBK004 05:07, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Total time in space?
The article currently contains the statement "In completing his sixth space flight, Krikalyov has logged 803 days and 9 hours and 39 minutes in space, including eight EVAs. He currently holds the record for the most time spent in space, at just over 804 days." Obviously 803 & 9/24 is less than 804. Can someone knowledgeable please clarify or reword? Thanks Kiore (talk) 07:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Record for time travel by a human being?
Cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev is cited to hold the record: 0.02 seconds (20 milliseconds) into the future, based on 748 days aboard Mir.
However, cosmonaut Sergei Krikalyov surpassed this duration record in 2005 with 803 days total (almost all on Mir and the International Space Station).
On Avdeyev's Wikipedia page, all three of the articles that reference him as the time travel record holder were written several years before Krikalyov broke his duration record.
I've found two contemporary articles by Princeton astrophysicist J. Richard Gott that reference "Sergei Krikalev" as the time travel record holder:

Krikalyov vs. Krikalev
Can I ask what the justification is for the article to be named "Krikalyov" over "Krikalev"? Both NASA and Energia biographies, linked in the external links, give his English name as Krikalev. Also a Google search comparison shows "Krikalev" as the clear winner.. so what exactly is the justification for this move? Mlm42 (talk) 17:35, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Looking at the Russian spelling of his name, I think "Krikalyov" would be a more accurate transliteration. Both Encyclopedia Astronautica and a fan site dedicated to him give his name as Krikalyov. --Nat682 (talk) 17:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- While it may be true that Krikalyov is a more accurate transliteration, the fact is NASA and Energia (i.e. pretty official sources) state his name of Krikalev.. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) says: "The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources."
