Didn’t Russia have naked women news casters at one time?
That would be some kind of filming.
Most under-rated scene in the movie, imo.
Tightly written and performed with precision.

I would hope the two rookies are schooled in basic flying the Soyuz. It might come in handy. As the Soyuz commander, I would demand it.
Quite an important scene. Did you know that the little girl in the long distance phone call to Earth was Kubrick’s daughter?
Awesome.
