Astronauts Mark Six Month Space Stint Endurance Leaders
CAPE CANAVERAL AP Two NASA astronauts Daniel Bursch and Carl Walz have surpassed 188 days aboard the international space station and plan to return after 194 days. They declined pursuing the all time 438 day record, citing mental strain as the major challenge. Yuri Onufrienko and others joined them in orbit earlier, while Mission Control notes the long mission ahead remains unlikely to reach the record.
