hello and welcome to the fair no i'm standing under the floor of the highest and most famous monuments here in the russian capital but why but because of this week's program we'll be exploring the subject of space direct it in one thousand sixty four to celebrate the soviet achievements of the space race to today's european space program join me as we find out why russia is so obsessed with everything that's literally out of this world the world watch when you're a guerin successfully completed the first manned space flight been able to trust nine hundred sixty one gary became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals on his including hero of the soviet union it was a huge achievement for the u.s.s.r. hadn't beaten the u.s. into space and over its sixty year history the soviet space program was responsible

for a number of pining accomplishments during the first satellite sputnik one the first space station the u.s.s.r. was on a mission in every possible way. one case essential to development of education star city the cosmonaut training facility today russia and america welcome projects here together. originating as an actual society it was for his only school who cosmonauts and i've been asked and i like to try out the training program. here we go. thank you now in the soviet times this facility was a highly secret area restricted from the rest of the country and indeed the entire world and that's the training where the first stage of the process is a spinning centrifuge here but the most important thing any cosmonauts should. aim to recreate the dramatic experience of a blast off if you can withstand the simulated g. forces of this make a machine and the cosmonaut competent any further training. straps in i'm

kathleen loaded into the centrifuge cause. i'm there we have it chris the. building up tremendous speed this really pushes you to your limits. people should die for that. moving for the commonwealth of h two o. now i'm time for eva training course will speak for space school and that means

training. neutral buoyancy is the only effective means of simulating weightlessness on earth for extended periods. now this pool is forth and holds a mass of five thousand cubic metres of water for have to admit that i am a little scared. i have previous starting experience. the suit is suspended i know the head of the police system was pressurized to the same pressure as it would be in the vacuum of space safety is a priority during a training session at least seven times will be in the water to make sure everything goes ok. myself in the hospitals learn basic emergency procedures and how to operate the
