Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, shortly before flying to the ISS in 2003, proposed to Ekaterina Dmitrieva, an American of Russian origin, whose mother worked for NASA. While at the station, he received a notification from Mission Control that his mission was being extended by several months. The newlyweds decided not to wait for the groom to return and had a wedding, looking at each other through the monitors. Roscosmos did not approve of such an act, since Malenchenko, who had access to state secrets, had to obtain permission to marry a citizen of another state in the prescribed manner on earth, but subsequently he participated in space expeditions more than once. Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia: What is the main cause of death after a shipwreck? According to statistics, hundreds of thousands of people become victims of maritime disasters every year, while a third of them - those who, it would seem, have already escaped - are in a boat or on a raft. These people die, as a rule, within the first three days after the shipwreck, when the lack of food or drink cannot yet affect. Many cases are known when there was no shortage of provisions at all, but people on life rafts and boats still died. For example, just 2 hours after the death of the Titanic, rescuers arrived in time to find both dead and dying people in the boats. Psychophysiologists believe that the main cause of death after a shipwreck is panic fear. The one who has lost hope, who is overcome by despair, perishes. The victim's metabolism and all physiological processes are sharply disturbed, paralysis of the vasomotor nerve fibers occurs. The mechanism of such a death seems to be similar to that characteristic of the so-called voodoo death, known among a number of tribes in Africa, Australia and New Guinea. The natives of these regions, having learned that a special kind of curse has been imposed on them, fall into a panic, which is soon replaced by despair, apathy and ends in death. Ultimately, psychophysiologists say, everything depends on the person himself - on his internal preparedness for the situation, on the way of actions and thoughts. People who are confident in their abilities, in friends, in their country, in the fact that they will be searched for and will certainly be saved, as well as believers who are convinced that God will not let them perish, have more chances to wait for rescuers alive.
