first omg
nice cooperation!!
Sure is a lot of hoopla Roscosmos puts the cosmonauts/astronauts through for each flight. I can see a pre launch press conference but these guys go through all kinds of unnecessary rituals. Can’t wait until our astronauts are launching again from American soil onboard our new spacecrafts.
pING — PONG , squash , planting a tree. ? why? why? why? please help me understand why? is it to be patriotic? why? why? I just want to know. ritual ?
My dream is to become an astronaut.….ugh like sooooo bad. I would do anything…

6:15 We see, Malenchenko, Peake and Kopra playing an intense game of Kerbal Space Program…
Ritual and ceremony are important to human beings, especially when they are facing a challenge. Who hasn’t heard of the rituals that athletes enact before a game, particularly an important one? Why would anybody not understand that?
7:25 that american guy spoke russian? Are they meant to learn Russian in order to get on Soyuz?
