I just read a report on the ABC news that Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev has just set a record for the most days spent in space. Over his 20 year career, he has managed to clock up almost 748 days in space and many record breaking firsts. His extensive contributions to space science include Ruglish, "When we are short of words in one language we can use the other".
Here is a good quote by him about humanity;
"The farther you travel, the more you feel kind of part of a big group of people, and traveling outside of Earth. I remember this feeling, being part of mankind. We represent not only our hometown, or even our countries in space. It's more like an international adventure." Sergei Krikalev on the Discovery Channel website

runglish
this is actually the word I coined when talking to the cosmonauts. rungliski in Russian. He loved our strange transliterated, half Russian half English messages.August 18 2005, 14:18:29 UTC 6 years ago
Re: runglish
It must have been fascinating to switch words, languages and thoughts this way.
