Space travelers have spent by 2007 over 29,000 person-days (or a cumulative total of over 77 years) in space including over 100 person-days of spacewalks. [51] Usual durations for individuals to inhabit space on long-duration stays are six months, [52] with the longest stays on record being at about a year.
