Minor nit; Padalka isn’t back from spending nearly 900 days in space. He’s back from a 168-day mission, bringing his career total logged days in space to 879 (which is admittedly very impressive and an all-time world record; but as he’s 57 and cosmonauts typically train for 1-2 years before each new mission, I suspect he won’t break it — he’s probably due to retire).
