Table definition
[edit]This table is all screwed up. The section heading says "Record setting single-mission human stays", which record is currently set at 437.75 days. It appears the numbers are inflated to thousands of hours. Confusion adding crew stays, and not keeping straight flight-up and flight-down days (because multiple spacecraft are used)?
This is a very ill-defined list, and is in danger of being counted as WP:Listcruft and nominated for deletion if it isn't fixed. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- I believe you confused the field "Duration" and "Record held". The "Duration" exactly defines what you say here, and "Record held" actually means the number of days that the record is unbroken.--Leeyc0 (Talk) 07:24, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- I think there is a more concerning problem with the page. It is a table only showing missions that at one time held the record, but that isn't particularly obvious. For example, several ISS missions rank highly overall for longest mission, but aren't on the list. That is correct for a timeline, as this page is intended to be, but seems less useful than an overall list of longest human spaceflight missions. The confusion also seems to have allowed for an improper 'see also' from List_of_spaceflight_records#Ten_longest_human_spaceflights, which is actually a top ten longest, rather than a timeline of the record. 52.124.108.54 (talk) 20:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
Why no Kristina Koch
[edit]I came here expecting so see her IIS stay third here, is there a reason IIS stays are not included? ~2026-22523-52 (talk) 14:25, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
