437 days in space

Postby GypsumWolf » Apr 27, 2007 7:54 pm

The record person for being in space is 437 days by Valeri Polyakov. What do they do for the months that they are there besides science work? Do they have lots of movies or other things for entertainment or are they just up there by them selves with not much of anything to do?

I also heard the caving is terrible there, but big rooms, a lot of blackness, no air, high radiation it should not be that bad.:shock::eyecrazy::shocked:


But a good point is that you can't gain weight in space! :big grin:
