How I Became a Cosmonaut - RT Documentary

From office to orbit! Konstantin Borisov was an office executive and became a #cosmonaut. The man had dreamed of #space since childhood. But having grown up, he chose a different #profession. He remembered his #dream in 2017, when Roscosmos announced a recruitment to its team. Borisov bypassed 420 applicants. The path from the application to the cosmonauts to the first #flight took as much as seven years. Our authors Lidia Vasilevskaya and Pavel Baidikov captured how Konstantin passed the toughest tests, communicated with his family and even saw him off to orbit in Houston. Our new film ’How I Became a Cosmonaut’ follows him as he pursues his dream. #HumanStories@rt__documentary
