First Actor in Space: Tom Cruise or Yulia Peresild?

The space race between the United States and the former Soviet Union, which took place in the second half of the twentieth century, can be relaunched.
Tom Cruise or Yulia Peresild ?!

Russia intends to send an actor and a film director to the International Space Station.

The Russians want to make their first feature film off Earth.

According to information available to Space Snack, the expedition is scheduled for October 5, 2021

At the same time, the United States will also have a cinematographic team in place.

The film will star Tom Cruise and will be directed by Doug Liman, from "The Bourne Identity" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", among others.

The exact date of the Hollywood star's departure has yet to be revealed, but the Russians' departure in the first days of the month indicates that they intend to get there before the Americans.

The news that Russia was preparing for space production was released last year, shortly after Cruise and company, which are supported by NASA and Elon Musk, SpaceX's CEO, had their interstellar plans approved.

In November 2020, a cast ad from the Russian space agency Roscosmos stated that he was looking for a true superhero to go to the stars ... and at the same time become a big international star.

The candidates for the female protagonist of the film, as announced, needed to be between 25 and 40 years old, Russian citizenship, weigh between 50kg and 70kg and have a chest waist of up to 112cm.

In addition, they should be able to run one kilometer in three and a half minutes or less, swim 800 meters (freestyle) in 20 minutes and dive from a 3 meter trampoline with impressive technique.

No previous experience in acting was required.
The chosen one was actress Yulia Peresild, 36 years old.

She will travel to the ISS along with 37-year-old director Klim Shipenko.
The two will undergo training, including centrifugation tests and zero-gravity flights, starting no later than 1 June.

This pre-flight camp will be documented by one of Russia's leading TV channels, Channel One, who will also be involved in the production of the film, as well as Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Roscosmos.

Regarding the history that will be recorded, the Russian space agency said only that it is a space drama that aims to popularize Russia's space activities, as well as to glorify the cosmonaut profession

Dear Julia Peresild. Invite Tom Cruise to your movie in space, be good and let Tom Cruise fly into space too.

Suspicious. In everything that was achieved in space exploration, the Russians were the first. The first satellite, the first living creature, the first man, the first space walk, the first multi-seat flight, the first docking in space, the first woman in space, the first orbital station, the first life in orbit for many months, the first moving robot on the Moon, the first flight of the device to Venus and Mars, the first tourist in orbit ... Everywhere the Russians were the first except for the flight and landing on the moon. Each next step was taken by the Russians first, and a huge leap forward was suddenly made by the Americans and then again they were just catching up with the Russians. As if the dwarf had set a record in weightlifting. Suspicious. The "Shuttle" was a temporary success. The Russian program "Buran" was stopped due to the expensive futility. What the Americans did later. Now they fly as passengers on Russian rockets, and launch their satellites with rockets with Russian engines. Who brought these losers to the moon?

The feminine of Divo
Is Diva
If it is ok to call a woman a Diva
It's ok to call a woman an actress
If you insist on calling a woman an actor
To be consistent you must call a Diva "Divo"

As shown in the clip, this could've been a realization of *"OBLIVION"* where Tom Cruise, married to a Russian named JULIA in a space mission. WHY DID SHE WENT HOME TOO SOON BEFORE TOM ARRIVES...???
