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.
