Is Expedition 23 the first resident crew to include three RSA cosmonauts? If so, (and assuming a reliable source can be found), it seems noteworthy. ( sdsds - talk) 23:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC) reply

It won't be the first time there will be 3 Russians on ISS. There has been many times when one 3 man crew handed over to another that there was 3 Russians. Look at Expedition 1 and Expedition 2 (2 Russians on Expedition 1, 1 Russian on Expedition 2). It will be the first time there will be 3 onboard for an extended period of time. I don't know of any sources, but it could be mentioned that it is the first time 3 Russians are onboard for an extended period of time.-- Navy Blue84 00:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC) reply
