Talk:Valeri Polyakov

was he stuck in space because of the fall of the USSR?
"He had the unfortunate experience of being up while the USSR was coming apart." -

Americans movies are not a trusted source of information. Do you really think that it is possible to "stuck" up there? Without preparations like food and oxygen supplies (at least)? This was well planned successful experiment. The facts:

1) USSR collapsed in 1991, not during his flight. 2) Valeriy was visited by Soyuz TM-19 during the experiment, I mean he had a chance to return. 3) He was not alone there, here is the list of persons who have partially worked with him: Ulf Merbold, Yelena Kondakova, Alexander Viktorenko, Talgat Musabayev, Yuri Malenchenko, Yury Usachyov, Viktor Afanasyev. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.217.45.216 (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Why so little info on this guy?
He was up there for over a year and this is all we have on him? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigboy (talk • contribs) 02:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd like in particular some information on what conclusions, if any, came from his record stay in space. The current article only states that the world learned that he could walk to a lawn chair afterward.  Comet Tuttle (talk) 23:12, 22 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It is established in the article that the primary conclusion from his spaceflight and his return to Earth was that humans would be capable of functioning on the Martian surface after an extended transit phase. I will see if I can find additional info. Tyrol5   [Talk]  22:44, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I can add information from Russian Internet in the article, but all citations will be Russian. --Heller2007 (talk) 07:26, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
