“We have a series of first courses around 6-8”: The expert spoke about the nutrition of astronauts

One of the most sensational films of this year, The Challenge was released in theaters on April 12. Remember that the shooting of the picture took place in space! Channel One hosted a new episode of the Neformat show-podcast where leading programs discussed the film.

Anton Lavrentiev talked about space with Valya Karnaval, Karina Kross, Oleg Novitsky and Yulianna Karaulova, shared his feelings after watching the movie and sang their favorite songs as well (UZ children’s choir and Zemlyane group helped them in this).

Oleg Novitsky described how cosmonauts actually feed: “We have a series of first courses around 6-8, but different cosmonauts still repeat things because this type of food is very expensive.”

“The crew always leaves the hotel with the song ‘Grass near the House’. Also, let’s say they give a light kick “in the sky” and plant trees before they start. The first person to fly a Soyuz will definitely plant trees. Then when you come as a backup or main team, you find your tree and water it,” said Oleg Novitsky, also talking about the tradition of astronauts.

Podcast host Karina Kross also shared which scene of the movie she liked the most: “When Yulia’s heroine goes into space, you can directly see how the whole world was turned upside down not only for the heroine, but also how it was turned upside down. but also for the player himself. It’s impossible to play!”

Recall that the film starred Yulia Peresild, Milos Bikovich, Vladimir Mashkov, Oleg Novitsky, Anton Shkaplerov, Pyotr Dubrov, Elena Valyushkina, Varvara Volodina and others. The film was directed by Klim Shipenko. Earlier, Milos Bikovich gave a long interview with Nadezhda Yay, in which she talked about the shooting of the film. “You’re watching material filmed about space, it’s actually filmed in space. This gave me goosebumps,” he shared his feelings during the conversation. Read more in our article!
