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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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?
