Yuri Gagarin would not have allowed Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko to fly into space after 4 months of preparation. This was stated by a former teacher of the Cosmonaut Training Center, a friend of Yuri Gagarin, who was preparing him for the first ever flight into space, retired Air Force Colonel Valentin Petrov.
According to the colonel, the actress and director “had to prepare longer.” He recalled that the average time for preparing cosmonauts for a flight is 8 years.
“I think Yura would have said the same thing as me. And the guys from the cinema would not fly so quickly into space. He wouldn't let it. It takes longer to prepare, four months is not enough, ”Petrov said in a commentary to News.ru.
The veteran of cosmonautics noted that “no one will let the film group die for sure,” but problems with adaptation to non-professional cosmonauts are guaranteed.
“Each person has his own individual characteristics of the organism. One will fly – normally, and the other two days, excuse me, is sick and twisted. The most important thing is to withstand the first two days of acclimatization, ”the colonel said.
On October 5, actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko arrived on the ISS to shoot a feature film with the tentative title “Challenge”. The “movie crew” is to return to Earth on October 17, accompanied by cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky. Roscosmos, Channel One and the Yellow, Black and White studio are involved in the creation of the film.
