The Last Cosmonaut 

" ground control to Major Tom...for here am I sitting in my tin can far above the world...."

Leningrad was never the capital of the Soviet Union. Moscow has been the capital since 1918.

Leningrad, the capital of the Soviet Union? What happened to Moscow? Kind of a silly mistake. Did this video not have an editor?

I FELL OFF MY CHAIR LAUGHING WHEN YOU SAID HE WAS STUCK UP THERE WITHOUT A PASS PORT.""

That one wasn’t "dark". I found it very uplifting.

I'm so glad to see Dark Space again!

Oh Re hashing old video content...😢

I find the irony of the last cosmonaut of the fallenSovietUnion, who found love and a relationship in space, very touching❤️the incredible effort and sacrifice in lives underlines the Russian mastery of space technology

803 days in space! What a trooper, I'd freak out and kick holes in Mir, strong head he has. I tip my hat to him.

That was a good one... I knew the story but not that in depth.. Thank you

Good short documentary. I liked it! Krikalev seemed to be a fairly calm and down-to-earth (no pun intented 😂) person.

Wow, truly a man who will go down in history.

Legendary

you mentioned volkov! it's unfortunate that barely anyone mentions volkov when telling the story of the last 2 soviet citizens

Reupload?

The gyros are gone...we'll have to abort... "Nah, don't worry about it -- I got this..." It was right about then that I realized this guy had some piloting skills. Very cool.

That's so stupid that since he didn't have a passport he couldn't return to his own country. It changed names. That's all.

Dark Space is my jam. More..

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'm going to as it sounds very interesting. But one thing right from the start: Moscow was the capital of the Soviet, not Leningrad.

The thumnail... who knew Rob Brydon was a cosmonaut

I can't believe the ground crew went on strike for better pay while they had people they were being paid to offer support to needed them.

0:45 Leningrad was **NOT** the capital of the Soviet Union. Please get your facts straight.

Where is he today?

Was that the American shuttle in the beginning with him looking out the window or the unmanned Buran?

Pretty soon you'll be able to make a "last russian cosmonaut" video

Wasn't Moscow the capital?

Lol did u reupload this?

FYI: Leningrad was not the capital of the Soviet Union since the early part of 1918.

last cosmonaut to trade with those Interstellar clients who now go to international space station

God damn you could set your watch by his jaw line

Fun fact cosmonaut means universe sailor Edit: Sergei time travelled two milliseconds in the future

When i look at space exploration for other places to live, i mean, I understand in some ways, but damn...fix our ways and explore OUR planet

4:18 and 11:46 key points

AMAZING stories like this rebuild my faith in humanity and that being the stupid monkeys that we are we can still survive and achieve pretty much anything when we need to.

He was the first TRUE ILLEGAL ALIEN. What a guy

Helen Sharman, not Sherman.

A true hero!

Moscow is the capitol ? Is and was during the ussr.

I served this guy a subpoena several years ago in Alabama. Unfortunately, I dont remember why i think it was divorce papers.. small world.

Surprised they didn't leave him up there like all them dogs.

Leningrad Capital of USSR??? Uhm what

He would definitely be an "alien"!!

I'm just sitting here watching this at age 36 listening to this rusky's resume, and it makes me feel like I haven't accomplished a damn thing my entire life. Lbvs 😂

"What? I was asleep. What do you mean "gone"? What is "gone"?

Leningrad wasn't capital of Soviet Union
