Beating His Records

Although Krikalev spent 311 days in space and unintentionally broke the record, he got beat a few years later. Valeri Polyakov beat him staying in space for 438 consecutive days.

In 2018, Gennady Padalka also broke Krikalev’s record. Astronaut, Gennady Padalka spent a total of 879 days in space, while Krikalev was there for 803 days. Still impressive if you ask me.
