Akiyama, pleASe he is the first japanese in space why you all keep saying mamoru mohri is the first hey wtf :((except you saying first JAXA, i will be ok ;-;)
Volkov, i know he is the son of cosmonaut aleksandr volkov, he is best son rookie ever! i feel so sad when he is leaving the detachment of cosmonaut.; -;
Padalka, he is super great! he is spending 879 days in space and beat krikalev who break the record before padalka. I think is just great! but...he is choose to resign (just like volkov). because he feel on the future he wil never have opportunity to fly again. this breaks my heart. really.

Who are y’all’s favorite astronauts/cosmonauts, and why?
Talking to a real cosmonaut
I met cosmonaut Sergei Volkov the other day as well as astronaut Andreas Mogensen (yeah I was geeking out hard) and I asked Sergei, after a total of 1½ year in space, what came as the biggest surprise and I expected this grand answer..
but he was like “in space, your t-shirt is floating too. It’s not hanging on you. It’s a weird sensation. There’s not really anything in space that stresses your body which is why we exercise.. like Andreas said, first time in space, you forget that you can just leave your fork floating while you’re opening your food. you try and put it down on a surface or hold everything in your hand like you’re afraid to drop it. And the fact that you can work 10 hours and concentrate really hard and not be sore in your neck.. Because there’s no gravity pulling at you. Dreams change as well after a while. I would dream about doing stuff on the space station but in my dreams there was gravity. It’s such a basic human thing, gravity.”
on the subject of returning back to earth: “Once you get back to earth, the first few days are tough. I took a shower instead of a bath, and it felt like the water was crushing me, I had to step out of the shower, it was just too overwhelming. Holding up your cell phone to your ear, It’s like holding a brick.”
