A March rumor that the Russians were going to abandon an American astronaut aboard the ISS made its way to the astronaut in question in an roundabout fashion.
Washington Post"I heard about it from my wife," Vande Hei, who holds the American record for the longest consecutive ISS stay of 355 days, told. "Some of the allusions were that my crewmates might leave me behind. I laughed when I heard about it. I said, 'Oh, there’s no way.'"
The astronaut added that although he and NASA were not at all concerned about him being left alone aboard the ISS amid tension between the US and Russia over the latter's invasion of Ukraine, his wife took some convincing. "The most difficult conversation wasn’t with my crewmates," he said. "It was with my wife trying to say, like, 'There’s no possible way that that would ever happen.
