Passacaglia Edit. The passacaglia is in 3/4 time typical of the form. Bach's ostinato comprises eight bars, which is unusual but not unheard of: an ostinato of the same length is used, for example, in Johann Krieger's organ passacaglia.
He returned to Earth 240 days later aboard TM-7. Polyakov completed his second flight into space in 1994â1995, spending 437 days in space between launching on Soyuz TM-18 and landing on TM-20, setting the record for the longest time continuously spent in space by an individual in human history.
At 3:42 pm ET Friday, Kelly and a Russian crewmate will blast off for new digs in outer space, not to return to Earth until March of 2016. Assuming Kelly toughs out his year in orbit, he'll smash the U.S. endurance record for the longest continuous time in space, which now stands at seven months. If Kelly and crewmate Mikhail Kornienko tough out more than 366 days together, they'll capture the record for the most enduring space crew.
