 He is a veteran of six Space Shuttle missions and extended missions on both Mir and the International Space Station.
 He was the first Briton to perform a space walk, and until 17 April 2008, he held the record for most time spent in space by a US citizen: 374 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes.
 He still holds the cumulative-time-in-space record for a UK citizen.
The Black Pimpernel (Swedish: "Svarta nejlikan" ; Spanish: "El Clavel negro" ) is a Swedish drama film directed by Ulf Hultberg and starring Michael Nyqvist and Lisa Werlinder.

STS-63 was the first mission of the US/Russian Shuttle-Mir Program, which carried out the first rendezvous of the American Space Shuttle with Russia's space station "Mir".
 Known as the 'Near-Mir' mission, the flight used Space Shuttle "Discovery", which lifted off from launch pad 39B on 3 February 1995 from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
 A night launch and the 20th mission for "Discovery", it marked the first time a Space Shuttle mission had a female pilot, Eileen Collins, the first EVAs for both a UK born astronaut Michael Foale and a US astronaut of African heritage Bernard A. Harris, Jr. and it also carried out the successful deployment and retrieval of the Spartan-204 platform, along with the scheduled rendezvous and flyaround of "Mir", in preparation for STS-71, the first mission to dock with "Mir".
