Sergei Krikalev Quotations

We worked six months trying to get the space station in better shape. We had a very interesting mission and I hope your mission is interesting as well.

Well it's a pity, we had it planned, I think we could have done it. If the decision is made, the decision is made.

We know a lot of people are working in mission controls on both sides of the ocean, doing the same job, trying to make the space station alive. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Massive black holes are usually known for violence and destruction, ... So it's remarkable this black hole helped create new stars, not just destroy them.

Thank you very much to those who worked with us.

So nothing fancy, maybe simple stuff..we're missing regular, normal Earth food.

We need another shuttle and many more Soyuz's to visit the station,

We do not like when it is over dramatized, ... There was low pressure in second stage -- but it did not affect the overall operation. The satellite was inserted into space and into the right position.

We are now against the window and can see there's no one home.

We want to say thank you, all of you. We are waiting for this flight for very long years, more than two years already.
