Russian cosmonauts were escorted to the launch of Soyuz MS-28 with the song "Grass at Home"

On November 27, the Russian cosmonauts were escorted from the hotel before the launch of the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft by the song "Grass at Home" by the group "Earthlings".

"The cosmonauts spent the night before the launch at the Rossiya Hotel. In the morning, breakfast with a sip of champagne, painting the doors, and then going outside, where hundreds of fans, as well as relatives and friends are waiting for them," Igor Kaporikov, a correspondent for Izvestia, said.

Earlier, on November 24, a rocket carrying the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, which has drawings of children fighting cancer, left the launch pad of the Baikonur cosmodrome. One of the participants in the program, 12-year-old Timofey, said that he drew a dog on a rocket, emphasizing that his dream had come true — he was cured and now he dreams of a pet.

Later, the State Commission approved the crews of the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft. It is specified that the main team included Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikaev, as well as NASA astronaut Christopher Williams. The reserve group will consist of Peter Dubrov, Anna Kikina and Anil Menon.
