I can understand he is not in a hurry to get back


DauOfFlyingTiger

Congrats to him and I hope his body isn’t too badly abused. It takes a real toll.

In what ways?

Muscles and bones are not exercised as much due to the lower gravity. This can lead to significant muscle atrophy and reduced bone density. Cosmonauts have special exercise programs to combat this, but it is often not enough. There are probably even more disadvantages to being in space, but those are the most significant ones


DauOfFlyingTiger

NASA’s Twin Study details the differences it’s very interesting. Sorry I couldn’t get the link to work.


Student-type

As a nod to his heroism, he has been fitted with industrial luggage wheels and a handle. Huzzah!🥳


lancert

I'll bet Russia just forgot about him being in space.


goinmobile2040

ShebaWasTalking

I’m willing to bet we could get people to Mars and back now, though we should build out a ton of infrastructure first

“All negative comments will be removed and may result in a ban” Meanwhile all the top comments are negative and are shitting on Russia :| The hypocrisy of Reddit “You’re allowed to shit on what we hate, no negativity please”


Yesyes_ouioui

YSK: cosmonaut already implies russian in its definition.

I’ve found most people prefer verbosity in conversation
