Mir (Russian: Мир; lit. Peace or World) was a Soviet and later Russian space station. It was the world's first consistently inhabited long-term research station in space, and the first of the third generation type of space station, constructed from 1986 to 1996 with a modular design. The station was in operation for fifteen years until March 23, 2001, when it was deliberately de-orbited, breaking apart during atmospheric re-entry over the South Pacific Ocean.

The station currently holds the record for the longest continuous manned presence in space, at eight days short of ten years, and was occupied for a total of twelve and a half years of its fifteen-year lifespan. Mir had the capacity to support a resident crew of three but could also support larger crews for short-term visits, the largest crew simultaneously aboard the station being six.

Through a number of international collaborations, including Intercosmos and the Shuttle-Mir Programme, the station was made accessible to astronauts from the U.S., several western European nations, Japan as well as cosmonauts from various eastern nations. The Mir also marked the beginning of Space tourism when Japanese journalist Akiyama made a paid visit in 1990.

How the hell did Frank Mir gain 20 lbs of muscle so quick?
Q. He is now the same size as brock...and looks incredible. What kinds of training do you do to gain this much muscle so fast?
Asked by Chris F - Mon Dec 14 12:51:52 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Mir started working out with Mark Philippi at his complex right after he lost to Lesnar. So he has spent the last 6 months getting ready for his next fight. Mir is going to continue building muscle until he reaches a solid 280 and then cut to make weight so he can equal the size and strength that Lesnar utilizes. I think the third fight will be really good.

what time do u think the lesnar vs mir fight will be on?
Q. im going to a restuarant that will be showing the ppv but i dont wanna watch the undercard, approx. what time do u think the lesnar fight or the sylvia fight should start?
Asked by madddness - Fri Feb 1 13:44:10 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. usually around 10:30-11 the main events will start(im central time) but with my past experiences you have to get to the place at least 30mins before the undercards start(9pm) because places that show the fights usually get packed and you wont find a seat. Good luck
