According to last night's program they'll try convince them there is such a constellation as the 'hazelnut cluster'.
I wonder if the actors will manage that with a straight face.
As it was, a couple of times last night you could see some of them having difficulties with that.
But it seemed that whatever doubts some of them may have had, their surroundings were sufficiently like their expectations of a Russian military installation to quell those doubts - for now.

The most that many people know about this is what they've seen in the cinema. And since they're using cinema special effects, it's likely that the experience will live up to expectations.

Even then, how sure would you be of yourself to risk making an idiot of yourself - knowing it's being recorded for TV?
In last night's show the commander mentioned the 'motto' - something about adventurers. But he used the word 'rakette' - Russian for rocket. Yet the motto didn't have the word rocket in it. They're taking chances early on - it doesn't require a full working knowledge of Russian to spot that one.
