January 8 – The Man Who Stayed in Space for 437 Days

On January 8, 1994, cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov launched to the Mir space station and began a mission that would last an astonishing 437 days — the longest single spaceflight in human history. In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, Amy explores the strange true story of the man who stayed in orbit for over a year, the physical toll of microgravity, and the moment that proved humans could survive long-duration space travel. A fascinating look at endurance beyond Earth.
