NASA Commentator Dan Huot talks with NASA astronaut Mike Fincke about the new space endurance record set by International Space Station Expedition 44 commander Gennady Padalka, Fincke’s one-time ISS crewmate. On Sunday June 28, during his fifth trip to space and fourth visit to this space station, Padalka passed Sergei Krikalev’s mark of 803 total days in space. Padalka and Fincke were crewmates on ISS for Expedition 9 in 2004, and back-to-back commanders of ISS on Expeditions 18 and 19. Fincke discussed learning from Padalka on his early flights, and about Padalka’s contribution to the legacy of ISS.
