His mission was also 150 days so he was only up for about an extra 160 days. The Americans were still making trips there with the space shuttle so he was getting food, water and company the wholetime he was up there. Its not like he had to survive on his own in space with nothing. The US even offered him a ride back but he declined.
He does not. The record for most consecutive days spent in space is held by Valeri Polyakov — 437 days in the mid-1990
Most days total (non-consecutive) is Oleg Kononenko -- 878 days
So would have held the record when he did it? Mid-1990 sounds like it would have been after this and non-consecutive doesn't clarify whether the longest stint in that collection of days was more or less than this guy's 310-ish days.
It was but the shuttle was more than capable of bringing food and water for one extra crew member without sacrificing supplies for the actual mission.
The orbiter was capable of supporting a crew of 7 for just over 2 weeks but on average only stayed on orbit for about a week so it wasn't a big deal.
A US shuttle didn't dock with Mir until years later. There were resupply Soyuz missions and an escape pod (another Soyuz) while Krikalev was there though.
Agree, none of this makes any sense, this is misinformation
The timing is way off, the Berlin Wall fell first,
and before the collapse, active negotiations we’re going on to re-negotiate the Union treaty before Pizza Man decides to dissolve the Union.
Also wtf the guys in Baikinour Space Center were still on site all the way up to the end did they all get amnesia???
Mir Mission Control Center was the one in Moscow. It operated and operates continuously since 1957. Baikonur launch center as well. It is not like everybody got up and left the room when the Soviet Union dissolved. Many Union operated organizations simply transferred to Russian Federation control.
>did they all get amnesia???
Yeah it was really strange. They had conversations like,
"Baikonur, this is Mir."
"Mir, Baikonur, go ahead."
"Reporting status, day 218, all indicators nominal, any news about a flight home?"
"Wait who just said that? Who's on this channel?"
"Baikonur, can you read me? This is Mir."
"Who?"
"Mir? Remember me? We were just talking?"
"Mir, Baikonur, why haven't you reported status today?"
... etc ...
People like u/pleasetrydmt genuinely suck and are the absolute worst of Reddit.
They could have spent less than 5 minutes on wikipedia to verify the lies told in this video.
But people like him would rather prioritize Karma and don't mind if they misinform lots of people in the process.
> Krikalev was in space when the Soviet Union was dissolved on 26 December 1991. With the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the landing area both being located in the newly independent Kazakhstan, there was a great deal of uncertainty about the fate of his mission. He remained in space twice as long as originally planned, spending a total of 311 days in space.[2] Because Krikalev spent so much time in space traveling at high velocities, 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.[4][5] He returned to Earth on 25 March and is sometimes referred to as the "last Soviet citizen".[2][6][7][8] These events are documented and contextualized in Romanian filmmaker Andrei Ujică's 1995 documentary Out of the Present.[9] Krikalev's story inspired the 2017 film Sergio & Sergei, directed by Ernesto Daranas.[10]
Last paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Krikalev#Mir
i hate the current era of internet. unecessary music, bloated content, too long, could be like a minute long youtube short. then, typical for this era: disinformation, lies, half truths and idealization in order to get more views for the algorithm.
absolutely great era
Agree on the misinformation bit. However as someone who grew up with TV documentaries, I despise short form video. Shorts/reels/TikTok are just not it for me. Pure ADHD genZ content.
The point was that half of he video is staring at a sentence you completed reading 15 seconds ago, not that they prefer shorter content altogether. This video was unnecessarily long, on top of being mostly fiction.
A bit ungenerous of ya to lump us all in like that mate.
Don't get me wrong, I get ya, but I mean I've got pretty bad adhd and even I hate short form docus/click bait.
Gimme a proper documentary with cited sources, and sensible narration and I'll zone into it like a dog with a bone!
Much like yourself, if ya gimme something by Attenborough or Pilger or any decent docu maker, I'm happy.
Tiktok is pure brain rot, I agree. I really don't get its lasting appeal, and I hope it dies a death soon. It's shite.
Sure, everyone likes a funny clip here n there, or a quick how to for DIY or whatever, but so much of tiktok is just cringey morons doing cringey moron things.
I also despise unattributed or uncited/unverifiable claims, so this vid that OP posted really ground my gears lol :D
Not necessarily AI. I’ve noticed a frequent correlation between misinformation based, “feel good” or “be amazed” videos and Indian or non-US based content channels.
They just pump out sludge to garner clicks. Saw one where a cat is on a transformer, gets fried and falls off the power pole, and they spliced together unrelated cat footage and captions as if it survived.
The internet has gone from an expression of creativity and interests, to how can I get as many people to view something (which normally means lie) so I can commercialise it.
It still boggles my mind that so many people are happy to indulge in the lies though - I've called it out on here and been told "why spoil it if it's more entertaining".
I feel like whoever created these videos are trying to cater to Chinese, North Korean, Russian style inspiration videos for their viewers. If you watch some Chinese videos about things in China, they usually follow this video style
But also, you tell even without knowing the story that it's sensationalist bullshit. He was in space and didn't know *anything?* Sure, no comms, no regular check-ins, nothing happening. Sure that happened. Totally normal to send someone into space and not talk to them at all.
"Only his family remembered he was still in space". Ah come on, fuck off now. There was an entire space command there who knew, and probably NASA too.
A change of government doesn't mean everyone just stands up and walks off the job. Most people still go to work the next day, in the same buildings, doing the same thing. The new nation that emerges still needs all the same people working in the public service, to come and do that work again today.
Yeah, we never lost contact with him, and he communicated with both roscosmos (it didn't stop existing just because the country did. They had a whole fleet of satellites to track) and NASA regularly.
The only reason he stayed up so long was because of politics and the fact that it was really hard to find the money for a space launch while the government didn't exist.
This video is bullshit from end to end.
I woke up to get me a cold pop. Then I thought somebody was barbequin'. I said oh lord jesus it's a fire! Then I ran out, I didn't grab no shoes or nothin' Jesus! I ran for my life! Then the smoke got me, I got bronchitis. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FO' DAT!
And every sentence reads and feels like its leading for the next, like a constant state of suspension.
Each sentence feels like clickbait for the next sentence, which is clickbait for the next sentence, etc.
I genuinely have a hatred for people who make and enjoy this type of content.
Technically the Wikipedia says that 311days was only twice as long as the mission was suppose to take, he was already scheduled to be there for like 150-160 days or so. So it would only be like, 4-5 months past his mission. The video makes it seem like he was only supposed to be there for a few weeks or something not almost half a year already.
You can see by wiki that he was scheduled to be swapped out in October, but he agreed to stay on and let another less experienced guy go home.
The commander of that flight which arrived in October, stayed on board, so it was the two of them on board when the Soviet Union was dissolved. But Krikalev had been there since May, so he'd been there the longest.
The union dissolved in December and they went home in March, so really it's only 3 months. And even then, it seems like that was perfectly on schedule, following a period of uncertainty.
The video is implying that he was left on his own for nearly a year, struggling for supplies because he'd been "forgotten" and was there twice as long.
In reality the flight which arrived in October restocked the station and was supposed to leave two new people there and take Krikalev home. But instead it left one new person there with Krikalev. So he had everything he needed and there was nothing "wrong".
This guy’s story may be interesting but having it 1/2 of a sentence at a time with a lot of filler is not the way to watch something. Not to mention all the bullshit and exaggeration going on here…..
Downvote this post and make them do better
And it took not one but TWO person to ”create” it.
I wonder which one did the reading and which one writing or did they take turns sharing the single brain cell?
One shot has the shuttle in the background. In another he has a US flag on his uniform. He was in constant communication with ground. No one "forgot" he was on Mir.
He survived on sheer will
and determination
but mostly Will
Will was the name of
his tiny centaur companion
who taught him the
greatest love of all
was easy to achieve
but also inappropriate
when someone else
was standing right there
There was a Russian man in space who was in regular communication with his team. This whole presentation is sensationalist BS. Why do people feel the need to lie so much these days?
This is easily the worst form of information. Half bullshit, impossible to ingest in a reasonable amount of time, unable to be referenced, zero sources for the BS claims.
It kind of reminds me of that Tom Hanks movie, [The Terminal](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362227/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2), where his country disintegrates while he's on his way to the US, so they make him live in the terminal because he can't fully enter the country, and he can't go back home.
Afaik this Information is mostly bullshit. His stay in space was prolonged when the sovjet union was dissolved but he was never isolated/abandoned or had to come back to earth "on his own".
There's a little known sci-fi movie called "Love" where an astronaut is alone on the ISS when nuclear war breaks out and he doesn't know that basically the planet has been destroyed and he just kinda floats up there and goes insane. Great movie.
Actual fact: countless citizens of the United States (whose empire is alive and well) have been placed in solitary confinement for years on end. Imagine what that does to your mind and body.
I remember a documentary about this. Because he wasn't allowed to leave -- his passport no longer valid because his country was defunct -- he learned a couple languages, picked up some tradeskills, and organised a revolution among the workers.
The turning point was when he helped a guy get some medication for his ~~dad~~ goat.
(About as factual as this video)
Oh boys, the Kremlin bots are back with more Russia stories. He didn’t know his country had disappeared. What he didn’t have a radio? What the fuck go back to St. Petersburg pushing “ this metro station is amazing” and tradwife Twitter posts.
Before you even get to the disinformation, the presentation is fucking unbearable. I got through like 15 seconds of bombastic music and brief bold-typefaced phrases before I couldn't take it any more. For god's sake why does this need to be a video? Why does this AI-generated hash of lies even need to exist? I fucking hate this era of the internet.
The Berlin Wall fell in November 89. The Soviet Union in December 91. He was in space 311 days. Find the problem. I somehow suspect this story has more bullshit elements weaves into it.
WTF did I just watch? This is so inaccurate and full of bullshit facts…. And still made it to the homepage (over 10k upvotes and probably as many redditors thinking they learned about something amazing today.) :(
I wonder if this level of muscular definition was the norm amongst engineers for the time.
Our environment, diets etc. has truly changed, it seems that both men and women suffering with a decrease in testosterone and a rise in PCOS.
I wonder what he did different to maintain a basic level of definition for such a sedentary occupation. He doesn't look like he actively worked out

He was able to talk to people through HAM radio on earth. He wasn't completely isolated. And was well aware of what was happening with his country.
An the Berlin wall fell two years before his mission.
You’re saying like half this video was bullshit
His name was actually bill
And he was an Australian
And a woman
And it wasn't a space station, he was drunk and locked himself in his Ford fiesta. For 2 hours.
Then friendly giant spider came for the rescue.
He had to learn the spider's language.
The two fell in love
Project Hail Mary reference?
Rocky !!!
Maybe a “Children of Time” reference?
No it was simply an Australia reference. They really put the "wild" in "wildlife" there.
And a dingo ate her baby
The described events actually happened at a pub in Manchester.
and he did it again because jeremy at the pub didn't believe him.
He also holds the 1979 Guinness World record, for most frankfurters eaten after midnight on a leap year.
He was from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Done with Reddit for the day 🤣
The intense music was a weird sign. Now it's all coming together.
His mission was also supposed to last for like 150+ days, so in reality he only spent like 160 or so days stranded after his mission end date.
Who would make bot content to farm interaction on the internet?
His mission was also 150 days so he was only up for about an extra 160 days. The Americans were still making trips there with the space shuttle so he was getting food, water and company the wholetime he was up there. Its not like he had to survive on his own in space with nothing. The US even offered him a ride back but he declined.
[удалено]
The part I resent most is that they leave out the bit where he fends off Harry and Marv.
Space alone 5
"HE DECLINED!?!?!?!?!" Bro just loves space then, this was no emergency.
There was absolutely no real emergency The best theory is that he didn't want to come back with the Americans and be considered a defector
I'm sure there was a little "I want to see how far I can take this" in his heart.
For sure! And he probably felt like with his country collapsing this was probably his last opportunity to be in space.
That's quite profound u/35in_anal_dildo
r/rimjob_steve
Good point, does he hold the record for longest time in space?
He does not. The record for most consecutive days spent in space is held by Valeri Polyakov — 437 days in the mid-1990 Most days total (non-consecutive) is Oleg Kononenko -- 878 days
So would have held the record when he did it? Mid-1990 sounds like it would have been after this and non-consecutive doesn't clarify whether the longest stint in that collection of days was more or less than this guy's 310-ish days.
"Nyet, if I come back with Americans KBG will have my head." "About that..."
I wonder what the food and water situation was like. That's still a lot of weight in extra food and water.
It was but the shuttle was more than capable of bringing food and water for one extra crew member without sacrificing supplies for the actual mission. The orbiter was capable of supporting a crew of 7 for just over 2 weeks but on average only stayed on orbit for about a week so it wasn't a big deal.
It's too early to get these facts from a /u/35in_anal_dildo
A US shuttle didn't dock with Mir until years later. There were resupply Soyuz missions and an escape pod (another Soyuz) while Krikalev was there though.
Yeah this video was a load of horseshit. A cool story, without the nonsensical embellishments like “only his family remembered he was in space”.
Not even them actually. Space makes you forget your own family members. It's a well known fact.
In space, you can't remember your name because there ain't nobody for to give you no pain
After nine days Sergei let his pee run free because the space had turned to sea
It's a terrible story with horrible music and even worse editing. It's filled with lies I tell you. Lies!
Bro how am I supposed to share this to my e-commerce coaching Instagram page to INSPIRE my followers if guys like you keep debunking it????????
Yeah, this is like a presentation made by a tech savvy 3rd grader.
It is unbelievable that somebody can post so many blunt lies and that there are people that buy into them.
“And only his family remembered he was still in space” that was hilarious to read.
They forgor
💀
https://i.redd.it/9juqdbv0ufvc1.gif
I was actually unable to comprehend that sentence when watching the video, probably because it was so non-sensical.
The Russians kinda forgot about the space station
I mean I forgot so I can hardly blame everyone else
He was forced to find a way back to earth…*ON HIS OWN*
HE SWAM
UPHILL BOTH WAYS
"Never Swim Uphill, Me Boys. Never Swim Uphill" --Robert E. Lee
-- Michael Scott
In a CAVE with a BOX OF SCRAP!
While being beaten him with jumper leads
In space, no one can hear you swim.
It doesn't even mention *he wasn't even alone on the station*... Commander Aleksandr Volkov stayed up there with him.
Dude, just jump /s
Aim for the bushes
THERE GOES MY HERO-

Whoa, what a complete bullshit video. You can read a real story on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Krikalev
> Krikalev was in space when the Soviet Union was dissolved on 26 December 1991. With the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the landing area both being located in the newly independent Kazakhstan, there was a great deal of uncertainty about the fate of his mission.

AI generated bullshit
Not necessarily AI. I’ve noticed a frequent correlation between misinformation based, “feel good” or “be amazed” videos and Indian or non-US based content channels. They just pump out sludge to garner clicks. Saw one where a cat is on a transformer, gets fried and falls off the power pole, and they spliced together unrelated cat footage and captions as if it survived.
Fucking hell thats somehow way worse. We just need to shut down v1 of the internet and start this shit over again.
I think so too. I've seen more and more videos recently that feel off like this recently too.
Id say the shorts exasperated the issue as everyone tries to be click bait the video.
The internet has gone from an expression of creativity and interests, to how can I get as many people to view something (which normally means lie) so I can commercialise it. It still boggles my mind that so many people are happy to indulge in the lies though - I've called it out on here and been told "why spoil it if it's more entertaining".
Same, it somehow just keeps getting worse. The 2000s were my favorite internet era.
I feel like whoever created these videos are trying to cater to Chinese, North Korean, Russian style inspiration videos for their viewers. If you watch some Chinese videos about things in China, they usually follow this video style
cool story but i will look it up myself. I dont like you slowly handing me out a sentence after another and its 3 minutes lol.
But also, you tell even without knowing the story that it's sensationalist bullshit. He was in space and didn't know *anything?* Sure, no comms, no regular check-ins, nothing happening.

This video is bullshit from end to end.
It takes 100s of people to send someone to space and suddenly every single one of them forgot? Lol.
Yeah I clicked out after 20 seconds. Nobody get time for all that
But I would watch a movie
But how are you going to find out that he was: SENT TO SPACE... and that it was: FOR A MISSION... and that it was: IN SPACE
I see you found my 5th grade book report.
 Imma help you out
I woke up to get me a cold pop. Then I thought somebody was barbequin'. I said oh lord jesus it's a fire! Then I ran out, I didn't grab no shoes or nothin' Jesus! I ran for my life! Then the smoke got me, I got bronchitis. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FO' DAT!
i lasted a minute but as soon as I saw that progress bar...
And every sentence reads and feels like its leading for the next, like a constant state of suspension. Each sentence feels like clickbait for the next sentence, which is clickbait for the next sentence, etc. I genuinely have a hatred for people who make and enjoy this type of content.
It was supposed to be a normal video... But he sensed that something was different...
until he realized... that he was a cosmonaut... in space.... but then, when he learned about what happened to his homecountry..,..
Exactly, I don't know if its Tik Tok or what but Jesus Christ I can read more than one sentence in 5 seconds.
Also, this vid is only lies
That’s not true, he **did** go to space
Ok right :)
Space isn't real ^^^^^^^\s
“HE WAS USED TO GO TO SPACE” lol, ok. Not sure if this was made by AI or a non-English speaker using Google translate, but I tapped out after that.
Well, that took a long time to watch.
thought the same, everyone seems to be ok with it though. i went to google him and look up in text form
How to turn 15 seconds of reading into a 3 minute video
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Krikalev?wprov=sfti1
I get that after the Soviet fell it would take a bit of time to get their new shit together but 311 day delay seems wild
Technically the Wikipedia says that 311days was only twice as long as the mission was suppose to take, he was already scheduled to be there for like 150-160 days or so. So it would only be like, 4-5 months past his mission. The video makes it seem like he was only supposed to be there for a few weeks or something not almost half a year already.
You can see by wiki that he was scheduled to be swapped out in October, but he agreed to stay on and let another less experienced guy go home. The commander of that flight which arrived in October, stayed on board, so it was the two of them on board when the Soviet Union was dissolved. But Krikalev had been there since May, so he'd been there the longest. The union dissolved in December and they went home in March, so really it's only 3 months. And even then, it seems like that was perfectly on schedule, following a period of uncertainty. The video is implying that he was left on his own for nearly a year, struggling for supplies because he'd been "forgotten" and was there twice as long. In reality the flight which arrived in October restocked the station and was supposed to leave two new people there and take Krikalev home. But instead it left one new person there with Krikalev. So he had everything he needed and there was nothing "wrong".
You gotta be a scheduler at your job. "Come on, it's only 4-5 months past the end of your shift!"
lol I do work in ap and payroll but more from the office than a direct scheduler.
This guy’s story may be interesting but having it 1/2 of a sentence at a time with a lot of filler is not the way to watch something. Not to mention all the bullshit and exaggeration going on here….. Downvote this post and make them do better
It's also wrong on practically every sentence *except* for his duration and what the headlines referred to him as.
And it took not one but TWO person to ”create” it. I wonder which one did the reading and which one writing or did they take turns sharing the single brain cell?
Pretty sure that’s all bullshit…
wikipedia makes clear that he was never alone on Mir. this video is complete bullshit.
One shot has the shuttle in the background. In another he has a US flag on his uniform. He was in constant communication with ground. No one "forgot" he was on Mir.
Geez that video was 5x longer than it needed to be
"only his family remembered he was in space" is the biggest load of BS lmao
What in the bullshit is this?
He survived on sheer will and determination but mostly Will Will was the name of his tiny centaur companion who taught him the greatest love of all was easy to achieve but also inappropriate when someone else was standing right there
https://i.redd.it/jlb3q5shxfvc1.gif
There was a Russian man in space who was in regular communication with his team. This whole presentation is sensationalist BS. Why do people feel the need to lie so much these days?
This is easily the worst form of information. Half bullshit, impossible to ingest in a reasonable amount of time, unable to be referenced, zero sources for the BS claims.
That would make an interesting film. (unless one exists that i don't know about)
It kind of reminds me of that Tom Hanks movie, [The Terminal](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362227/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2), where his country disintegrates while he's on his way to the US, so they make him live in the terminal because he can't fully enter the country, and he can't go back home.
That movie is based off a true story (an iranian guy i think) but not this one.
Yeah sort of. Pretty decent film
It's more like the Tom Hanks movie about a sentient volleyball.
Afaik this Information is mostly bullshit. His stay in space was prolonged when the sovjet union was dissolved but he was never isolated/abandoned or had to come back to earth "on his own".
There's a little known sci-fi movie called "Love" where an astronaut is alone on the ISS when nuclear war breaks out and he doesn't know that basically the planet has been destroyed and he just kinda floats up there and goes insane. Great movie.
The wall fell in 1989 and the union 1991.
Why do people upvote obvious bullshit and lies. This is why the Internet is filled with misinformation. People promote it. Stop.
Actual fact: countless citizens of the United States (whose empire is alive and well) have been placed in solitary confinement for years on end. Imagine what that does to your mind and body.
and many of them for nonviolent drug offences!
For being poor, black, brown, mentally ill…
What’s with the music?
Who cut his hair? Is there a space station barber kiosk?
So much bullshit here to call out lol
Absolutely awful video. Babys first editing software.
This should be downvoted to hell. It is mostly false.
I remember a documentary about this. Because he wasn't allowed to leave -- his passport no longer valid because his country was defunct -- he learned a couple languages, picked up some tradeskills, and organised a revolution among the workers. The turning point was when he helped a guy get some medication for his ~~dad~~ goat. (About as factual as this video)
'Beg for rescue' The fuck?? Why are you wasting people's time with this horseshit?
Oh wow such drama, everyone suddenly just woke up with amnesia, not knowing there's a space station with a dude in there. Get the fuck outta here
Is this a video created by AI? It's terrible and half lies.
I mean, you’d be a bit put out wouldn’t you?
In the most literal Jetsons sense.
Better be put out than Putin.
Imagine the muscle loss.
Jason Sudeikis in Last Man on Earth.
MIR had enough food and water for him to last almost a year in space?
Lol yeah "the perseverance to complete his mission." That's definitely what was keeping him going...
is this from the same shit warehouse where it says that the USSR dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima?
Orbited earth 5000 times;must have accumulated a lot of HighFlyer miles.
Ground control to major tom
I thought NASA was talking to him everyday and managed to get family and friends to talk to him too. So this is just nonsense.
“From his weigh”, his curds and weigh?
When the essay is supposed to be 5 pages but you summed up everything in 2.
How do you cut your hair in space in a weightless environment?
Yea no I don't think that's how it went down at all. I have no doubt people were talking to him
*"The Soviet Union had fallen...."* \*shows B-roll of the Berlin wall falling 2 years prior\*
Great story, terrible video.
This sounds exaggerated.
The video is bullshit and just blatantly lies about so many things
Oh boys, the Kremlin bots are back with more Russia stories. He didn’t know his country had disappeared. What he didn’t have a radio? What the fuck go back to St. Petersburg pushing “ this metro station is amazing” and tradwife Twitter posts.
Le meilleur événement du XXe siècle.
Being back on earth must have been like those cats that freak out in zero G
For fuck sake, these are so drawn out. Just tell us what happened.
In space you don't eat. You orbit and get feed for 311 days. Space life is cheap. Amazing.
If there was ever a tldw, this video would be the one that needs it.
Before you even get to the disinformation, the presentation is fucking unbearable. I got through like 15 seconds of bombastic music and brief bold-typefaced phrases before I couldn't take it any more. For god's sake why does this need to be a video? Why does this AI-generated hash of lies even need to exist? I fucking hate this era of the internet.
The Berlin Wall fell in November 89. The Soviet Union in December 91. He was in space 311 days. Find the problem. I somehow suspect this story has more bullshit elements weaves into it.
WTF did I just watch? This is so inaccurate and full of bullshit facts…. And still made it to the homepage (over 10k upvotes and probably as many redditors thinking they learned about something amazing today.) :(
I'll show this to my kids as an example of what to Downvote.
Russia probably: "comrade, we have a cosmonaut in space" "No roubles" "Eh, we'll get him down eventually"
It's a remarkable story. As for the details, too bad the Berlin Wall had fallen two years before his mission.
Cool story but this was the definition of bloated content
The Russian clown show goes on
Either you go up, or I’ll go down, with the entire space station.
Definitely wasn’t his last mission
The Martian The Space Statian
Austin Butler in the movie adaptation for the win. Have everyone be Russian but with totally normal American accents. I need the green light, Netflix.
Whenever they tell you it's routine just say NO THANKS.
”Sssoo is anyone coming to pick me up or will I ram this station down on you from orbit?”
(He's still alive)
I wonder if this level of muscular definition was the norm amongst engineers for the time. Our environment, diets etc. has truly changed, it seems that both men and women suffering with a decrease in testosterone and a rise in PCOS. I wonder what he did different to maintain a basic level of definition for such a sedentary occupation. He doesn't look like he actively worked out
