Mir (Russian: Мир, IPA: [ˈmʲir]; lit. Peace or World) was a space station operated in low Earth orbit from 1986 to 2001, at first by the Soviet Union and then by Russia. Assembled in orbit from 1986 to 1996, Mir was the first modular space station and had a greater mass than that of any previous spacecraft, holding the record for the largest artificial satellite orbiting the Earth until its deorbit on 21 March 2001 (a record now surpassed by the International Space Station). Mir served as a microgravity research laboratory in which crews conducted experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and spacecraft systems in order to develop technologies required for the permanent occupation of space.
The station was the first consistently inhabited long-term research station in space and was operated by a series of long-duration crews. The Mir programme held the record for the longest uninterrupted human presence in space, at 3,644 days, until 23 October 2010 (when it was surpassed by the ISS), and it currently holds the record for the longest single human spaceflight, of Valeri Polyakov, at 437 days 18 hours. Mir was occupied for a total of twelve and a half years of its fifteen-year lifespan, having the capacity to support a resident crew of three, and larger crews for short-term visits.

Genres: Romance,Last night I let a drink get the better of me
Last night my head already knew about today
You don't say, I have to pay the price for yesterday
all day,
and it's taking so long
Once again I'm in regret once again I stumble and fall
Ain't it just how it goes
We never do what's been told
We just have to find our own truth
And if it means I will fail
then at least I have tried
Well isn't it just how it goes
You say, that I should take advice and change my way
Well okay, but don't expect too much, not right away
Once again I'm in regret once again I stumble and fall
Ain't it just how it goes
We never do what's been told
We just have to find our own truth
And if it means I will fail
then at least I have tried
Well isn't it just how it goes
Once again I'm in regret
once again I stumble and fall
Ain't it just how it goes
We never do what's been told
We just have to find our own truth
And if it means I will fail
then at least I have tried
Well isn't it just how it goes
