Very sad loss of a great cosmonaut and test-pilot, of the Buran category. After his missions he kept a low profile and I met him only a couple of times in Star city. A kind and accommodating man. |

I remember he lost the seat in another mission after reported heart problems. Maybe these caught up with him now.  |

I believe it was exhaustion related to grueling pre-flight training. He had a good sense of humor; I had heard he said before that flight, that he was "going into space for a rest." He was physically very strong and fit. |
