In its duration, the flight fell far short of the previous record of 81 orbits by Soviet Lt. Col. Valery F. Bykovsky in June, 1963. His flight lasted 119 hours and six minutes, just under five days. In Washington, James Webb, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said the Soviet feat was "a clear indication that the Russians are continuing a large space program for the achievement of national power Space Race—We Trail by 2 Years and prestige."
