Yuli Berkovich
Yuli Berkovich was a scientist who has performed experiments with seed germination in zero gravity, among others, on the International Space Station. The seedlings germinated, but died a few days later due to not having any soil or nutrients, and from capillary action.
Yuli was named after his father's hero, Julius Cesar.
As a young adult, Yuli, who was a "golden medal" HS graduate, was famous for two things: his mountaineering achievements, and his multiple amorous escapades, whereas he bedded numerous wives and daughters of the Russian / Soviet elite, thus earning the title of "The Gigolo of the USSR".
