,,,, Well.... here</a.
Suni Williams rules. She's the one that ran a marathon and <a href=
then:
[Following the decision on April 26, 2007 to bring Williams back to earth on the STS-117 mission aboard Atlantis, she did not break the U.S. single spaceflight record that was recently broken by former crewmember Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria. However she did break the record for longest single spaceflight by a woman.[1][17][18]
From: wikipedia.org
STS=116 was cool!.
And then there was Peggy and Yuri Malenchenko of Expedition 16.
Before them was Michael Lopez-Alegria.
[Lopez-Alegria holds the all time American record for number of EVA's (10) and total EVA duration (67 hours and 40 minutes). The previous record holder, Jerry L. Ross had a total of 9 EVA's with a duration of 58 hours and 18 minutes. On April 2, 2007, Lopez-Alegria set the record for the longest space mission of any American astronaut. When he landed on April 21, his time in space on a single mission was 215 days.[1] (The longest space mission on record is that of Valeriy Polyakov, who spent 437 days aboard the Russian space station Mir in 1994 and 1995.)]
I mentioned them because they were back-to-back special people as well as in the missions that they serviced. They also hold some World Records in their own rights.
Oh, yes, Colbert.... He's cool, no offence! I'm all for inspiring young people. I just wish that the name would be "Johnny" instead.

Of course, I'm thinking of Johnny Carson. Good grief, these kids have parents!

... ok, my grandfather, John too. He's timeless.
