in reply to @vin's post:
its just rly fucked up to think about the possibility of being stranded in space on a space station bc your government no longer exists and everyone is fighting down on the earth and you dont get regular news anymore
It speaks to how well prepared they were though! A far cry from the the stereotype the USSR got of "lol no food, here's a pencil instead of this specially designed space pen"
"Because Krikalev spent so much time in space away from Earth’s center of gravity, time dilation (or the slowing down of clocks) caused him to be 0.02 seconds younger than other people born at the same time as him."
alright, wikipedia, i guess that's interesting, but i don't know if it's practical information
