In this movie Russian actress, Yulia Peresild, 37 playing the role of a doctor who travels to the space station to save cosmonauts life. This project has beaten Hollywood in the chapter of movie-making in space, as the Hollywood actor Tom Cruise announced that they are going to shoot the movie in space with NASA and Elon Musk SpaceX.
“It was difficult psychologically, physically, and emotionally … but I think when we reach our goal all the challenges won’t seem so bad,” said Peresild – who was selected out of 3,000 applicants for the role – at a pre-flight press conference on Monday.
“This is a one-time experience,”
“It seemed that 12 days was a lot, but when it was all over, I didn’t want to leave,” she told Russian television.
In the long list of the “First” for the Russian space industry, this mission will also be added to the list if it will successfully be done.
