Oleg Kononenko has set a world record for the most time spent in space on Sunday, after logging more than 878 days or nearly two-and-a-half years.
Kononenko broke the record while orbiting 263 miles (423km) from Earth during his fifth space flight.
He is currently scheduled to end his current space flight in late September, by which time he will have logged 1,110 days in space.
His first space flight took place soon after he began training as a cosmonaut at the age of 34 and lasted 200 days.
Kononenko told Tass that video calls and messaging allowed him to keep in touch with Earth but that it was on coming back to Earth that he realized how much of life he had missed out on.
He also said he worked out regularly in an effort to counter the physical effects of insidious weightlessness.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Kononenko has broken a world record for the most cumulative time spent in space when this is not entirely accurate. Gennady Padalka still holds the official record of 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes and 48 seconds as per NASA's website. Secondly, while Kononenko has indeed made five journeys to the International Space Station (ISS), he did not make them consecutively or in a single mission. He spent time on Earth between each journey. Thirdly, the author quotes Kononenko saying that life as a cosmonaut was his childhood dream come true and that it motivates him to continue flying, but this is not entirely accurate either. While Kononenko may have been interested in space from an early age, he did not become a cosmonaut until much later in life.
