These Cosmonauts Are Having A Killer Time

Space training is not all about mad afternoons in aerotrims and learning how to operate a can of Space Coke. On some days, it’s about taking off your spacesuit and kicking it in hammocks in a birch forest.

Just ask Valery Kubasov (left) and Bertalan Farkas, training here for the 1980 Soviet mission Soyuz 36.

Hat tip to Scanzen.
