Do please remember that there, as with most flight training, there are hidden costs to be taken into account so you'll need to ask the Russians some pretty searching questions, viz.

i. Will I be expected to provide my own ray-gun and if so will the Light Sabre I purchased from Taylor's Toys and Models (Wantage) be enough? I tried taking my own and they were not impressed.

ii. How much do the little plastic pouched for the in-flight loo cost? I appreciate that the take off may be somewhat precarious and should not like to be the first spaceman to pee his pants. NB. In zero gravity errant micturation could also affect the avionics not to mentions a stray "number two".

iii. Will I have assistance on the language front? They'll need to send you on a course to learn Martian. (You may be able to save money here - there's an excellent Bugs Bunny cartoon c. 1956 with a little alien chappy who speaks almost non-stop throughout. This may be enough to convince the cash strapped Rooskies that you're a serious proposition not just someone who has seen to many Star Trek fillums.

Hope this helps,
