Star City, 13:00
After having a Coke in the canteen where cosmonauts have their lunch daily since 69 years ago, we were called to have our second interview. Sergei Alexandrovich Volkov came back from outer space 4 months ago. Sergei is incredibly tall and smart. He welcomed us in his military uniform. He looked like an unreal figure.
Sergei Volkov is son of cosmonaut Alexander Volkov. He is the youngest mission commander ever. He is a close person, with a good sense of humor and is incredibly pleasant. The chat with him was warmer, much more real. We talked about space, about the feeling of weightlessness, about silence and so many other things.
In the background, the fighter planes were flying over us non-stop. We asked him about some doubts to do with the script, about sound in space and about cosmonaut suits.
Sergei takes part enormously in our project, who knows if it is because of a well carried out press program or just true passion. We can hardly believe it. He signed pictures of himself for us to sell at an auction. He promised to give us a training costume he doesn't use anymore as a gift. He gave us permission to use his signature on our t-shirts, DVD´s and posters.
Finally he surprised us:
"We could organize it with enough time, we have to ask for permission, but I could go to Spain for the premiere. I could give some lectures. For free, don´t worry. Oh, there is something which is a bit more complicated, but it wouldn´t be the first time. Maybe if it coincides with any mission, we could release the film in the outer space."
An outer space premiere??
"Yes"
Wow!
Thank you Sergei Volkov. Thank you very much.
