$\begingroup$ This answer is so complete that I am thinking of narrowing the question to tourists so it matches, and splitting off the "regular crew" part as a new question. Does that sound okay with you? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @uhoh My only qualm is that the answer I would write for the *nauts would not have a publicly available source as written currently. I could go through and link the wikipedia articles to each of the *nauts, but they were not very detailed in some cases. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ I see, so maybe it's not worthwhile. If there was some notable case, like an unscheduled or emergency return for an appendectomy or root canal or something like that it would make for a great answer (of course at the expense of the astronaut). But if it's just sorting through a big list for a stint that was 4.5 months instead of 5 or 6, then maybe no point. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @uhoh I was surprised by the brevity of the Duque visit. But then, I was surprised to see him, Pontes, and Vittori on the list as Soyuz passengers; we trained them all to be shuttle Mission Specialists in the 90s. Duque and Vittori did fly on the shuttle; Pontes never did, IIRC due to some kind of budget or programmatic problems between NASA and the Brazilian space agency. I'm glad he got there, even if it was on a Soyuz. $\endgroup$
