Russians Beat Hollywood to ISS

[Hans Tucker]

Apparently a Russian actress and director arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday to begin a 12-day mission to make the first movie in orbit.

"The Russian crew is set to beat a Hollywood project that was announced last year by "Mission Impossible" star Tom Cruise together with NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX."

The movie's plot doesn't sound original but centres around a female surgeon who is dispatched to the ISS to save a cosmonaut. Heart Surgery I believe.

It is expected that Russia could pull out of the ISS in a few years, due to aging equipment and superstructure.
Again something went wrong, this time the automatic docking mechanism failed and after a couple of hours they were able to dock manually.
It must be a nervy trip for Russians heading into space these days,
wondering what can go wrong now?
Cheers :thumbsup:

Maybe that should have been their theme to the movie.

:lol: I thought it was for a second there. Hey I have a better one:

nurse [operating]: scalpel...

assistant: I can't komrade. It is jammed in that tiny drill hole in module KGB007 and is the only thing keeping us alive.

nurse: SCALPEL!...

BOOM [decompression] ... Uplifting Soviet Anthem

... the end.
