Talk:Sergei Krikalev

message: There does not seem to be any conflicts still on-going in this page. There is a lingering question about the first packet radio contact to  space. See the note below. But this will be easily corrected if the commenter knows of a secondary source, which seems likely. Otherwise, this page seems good.

thread_title:  Removing Warning 

message: Could you please change a photo to the one from Russian wikipedia, without US flag? It's humiliating for any Russian to see such a hero with a flag of enemy.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.165.173.131 (talk) 22:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This was the previous photo, it has both flags. He made 4 flights on Soyuz and 2 on the Space Shuttle. --mfb (talk) 07:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another photo 

message: The current photo shows a Russian flag, so someone has fixed this. The anonymous person who posted in 2014 used the word "enemy," which is the wrong word here; but many Russians are nationalistic enough to be annoyed when the flag of a different country is shown (for a formal portrait like this). Russians aren't the only people who are nationalistic about these things -- many people in my own country have similar feelings. Another thing about this photo: the name is transliterated into our alphabet as "Krikalev" (not "Krikalyov") which is a really authoritative reason to use the Krikalev spelling in the article's name (discussed elsewhere by others on this talk page).

thread_title:  Someone has done that 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title: Previous discussions without headers

message: 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? Thanks Kiore (talk) 07:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Total time in space? 

message: Cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev is cited to hold the record:  0.02 seconds (20 milliseconds) into the future, based on 748 days aboard Mir.
However, cosmonaut Sergei Krikalyov surpassed this duration record in 2005 with 803 days total (almost all on Mir and the International Space Station).
On Avdeyev's Wikipedia page, all three of the articles that reference him as the time travel record holder were written several years before Krikalyov broke his duration record.
I've found two contemporary articles by Princeton astrophysicist J. Richard Gott that reference "Sergei Krikalev" as the time travel record holder:

thread_title:  Record for time travel by a human being? 

message: Kirkalev and Laquinto successfully communicated via packet radio for the first time in history between an orbiting space station, and an amateur radio operator.
I believe I made the first packet radio contact with an orbiting space station.  This was on 27 Feb 1991 and I have a QSL confirmation card from Musa Manarov, U2MIR.  I also had many contacts, both packet and voice, with other Cosmonauts in Mir, including Sergei.

thread_title:  first packet radio contact 

message: Long ago, I was a licensed radio amateur. "Ham" is ok, but actual hams (in the amateur radio sense) didn't use "HAM" (all capitals). So I'm adding a link to amateur radio, removing the all-caps version, and putting "hams" inside parentheses. I also added a link to packet radio. If others have a reason to undo these edits, I'd appreciate an explanation here on the talk page. The article on amateur radio explains "ham" nicely. Oaklandguy (talk) 22:57, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amateur radio (ham) 

message: Is it just me, or is the whole section about Krikalev being stranded in space after the fall of the Soviet Union gone? The incident is of very high historical importance. I'd really like to read more about that here on Wikipedia. --2A04:981:2B00:4C00:D108:AE4A:207E:9B9F (talk) 09:51, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Last Soviet Citizen 

message: On 11 June 2021, Krikalex was demoted at Energia.  My Ru-1 level of Russian is not sufficient to translate the article, that has now been taken down.  But here it is, retweeted by senior space journalist Jeff Foust of Space News, Thanks to @anik1982space who made screenshots of an article in MK which was deleted soon after the publication, we have another meaning. According to it, Krikalev was demoted due to his disagreement with the government finding of "The Challenge" movie..  I don't know Pavlushchenko.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 00:44, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
