Captive in Space: No Return Date

A fascinating story of an astronaut and a spaceman from a different era who missed their return.

On one hand, we will learn about the incredible adventures of Sergei Krikalev, the last Soviet cosmonaut, who was stranded in space as his country collapsed and trapped on the Mir space station without a valid passport and a return date. We will learn how Sergei faced uncertainty and loneliness as his country fell apart, and how he finally succeeded in returning home after months of waiting.

On the other hand, we will immerse ourselves in the story of Frank Rubio, an astronaut of Salvadoran descent who had to extend his stay on the International Space Station (ISS) due to technical problems with the return to the spacecraft. We will learn about his journey from his childhood in El Salvador to becoming a retired US Army soldier and finally an astronaut. We will explore how Frank coped with the long wait to reunite with his family and his valuable contribution to space research during his time on the ISS.

Join us as we explore the exciting experiences, challenges and achievements of Sergey and Frank as they leave their mark on space exploration and demonstrate the indomitable human spirit as they explore the universe. Get ready to join Sergey, Frank and space on a thrilling journey beyond Earth’s boundaries!
