Comment:
first who celebrated New 1974 Year in the orbit was the crew of the 3rd Skylab expedition consisted of Carr, Gibson, Pogue;
next who celebrated New 1978 Year in the space was the crew of the 1-st Salyut-6 expedition consisted of Romanenko and Grechko;
and from New 1988 Year till our days (except for New 2000 Year) anybody always was in the space flight in the New Year holiday.
