Russian cosmonauts are seen as more resilient when it comes to spending time in space than other astronauts and people going to space from other countries. The previous record for most time in space was 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes and 48 seconds. Gennady Padalka has happened. This record, which Padalka broke in February, has recently been buried in history. Oleg Kononenko, who broke the record, completed his thousandth day in space.

Kononenko, on the other hand, did not break this record in a single trip. Cosmonaut into space After he went into space for the fifth time broke this record. In addition, Kononenko will return to space for other missions in the future. If we convert it to years, the cosmonaut spent about three years in space.

Spending long periods of time in space affects the human body

Russian news agency to TASS Kononenko made a statement: “There is the realization that you have achieved something new and important, the feeling that you have reached an important milestone, that you have touched the unknown.” He made a statement. The cosmonaut states that this situation gives him self-confidence and pride.

People, on the other hand Not creatures accustomed to microgravity and human physiology also changes in space. In space, people lose muscle and bone tissue and the number of blood cells decreases. That is why exercise is very important in the daily routine of astronauts. At least when you’re in space, the calluses and hard tissues on your feet disappear and your feet become as soft as the day you were born. In that sense at least there is a positive change.
