Q.
White Sun of the Desert (1970) is a classic 'Eastern' or Ostern film of the Soviet Union.
The film is one of the most popular Russian films of all time. Its blend of action, comedy, music and drama, as well as memorable quotes, made it wildly successful, and it has since achieved the status of a top cult film in Soviet and Russian culture. Its main theme song, "Your Noble Highness Lady Luck“ became a hit.
Why would I be asking about this movie in a space quiz?
Answer
Russian cosmonauts always watch this
movie before flying into space.
The ritual has become a mainstay for
crews preparing to ride Russian Soyuz
vehicles into space.

Amrutanshu Q
Q.
It is traditional for astronauts leaving for space from Russian space centres to be blessed by a priest from the Russian Orthodox Church. The ritual involves getting slapped in with the face with a cross as well as getting a tremendous amount of holy water on oneself.
While it is unclear when this practice began, it is widely accepted in Russia that it began sometime during/after1992.
Why so? Need precise funda.
Answer
It wasn’t possible before Dec 1991 as
the Soviet Union was officially an
atheist state.

Jajodia Q
Q.
While he claimed it to be impromptu, his brother Dean said otherwise, saying that he had thought of it months ago.
Which makes his mistake bizzare : some experts say that the "a" was dropped because of a glitch in the radio signal, but most assume that he just left out the word. If he did leave out the word, it's a natural slip to make : Dean omitted the "a" himself the first time he quoted the phrase, and had to correct himself a moment later.
What is being talked about here?

Neil Armstrong saying “that's one small
step for man” instead of the

Agrawal Q
Q.
The International Space Station, a multinational project, is divided into two sections: an American and Russian section. In 1998, when the venture began, it was reported that the Americans and Russians got along famously, sharing resources such as food and exercise equipment. Unfortunately, squabbles began after the first few years. One of the biggest tiffs between them was related to the use of an indispensable facility, and the fact that ever since Russians had started using the American ones, they weren’t functioning properly.
What facility? What factors lead to the Russians causing problems?
Answer
Use of toilets.
As the Russian crew’s diet consisted of
richer food than the American, their
s##t tended to clog the toilets.

Q.
In May 2013, Pavel Vinogradov became the first person to do a fairly irksome annual chore for adults, in space.
Mikhail Mishustin, head of Russia’s X, boasted : ‘There's nothing surprising in the fact that the principle of extraterrestrial support, which the X takes seriously, has allowed us to take such a big step forward. Thanks to the modern services we offer, one can practically never visit our offices and remain a law-abiding __________’
What did he do?
Answer
He was the first person to pay his taxes
in space.

Jyoti Q
Q.
About a month before Apollo 11 was set to launch, the three astronauts entered quarantine. And, during free moments in the following weeks, each of the astronauts signed hundreds of photographs of themselves.
They gave them to a friend. And on important days — the day of the launch, the day the astronauts landed on the moon — their friend got them to the post office and got them postmarked, and then distributed them to the astronauts' families.
Why did they do so?
Answer
Because of the risks involved, and
near-suicide mission they were
undertaking, no company was
prepared to provide insurance for
them.
The astronauts signed the autographs
in the hope that it would act as
sufficient insurance for their family.

Q
Q.
When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned from space, they got a 21 day quarantine in a trailer instead of a parade. This was done to ensure that they were not carrying any sort of alien pathogen with them.
This protocol was followed for the next three missions. However after the Apollo 14 mission, this protocol ceased to be operational.
Why this sudden change of heart?
Answer
Simple – scientists concluded that the
moon was incapable of supporting
any life form.

Q.
On 8 June 1964, Elena Andrianovna Nikolaeva-X was born in the Soviet Union. Her birth was of immense intrigue to the medical community, with doctors predicting the child to have deformities/severe medical conditions. But, she went on to be a healthy child, and in fact ended up becoming a doctor.
Why did the doctors predict so about Elena?
Answer
X – Tereshkova.
She was the daughter of Valentina
Tereshkova and a fellow cosmonaut
Andriyan Nikolayev – the first child
whose both parents visited space.
Aaaand, that’s it!
