• Wonder what music they'll be playing in the Soyuz. Hope it's something decent and not Miley bloody Cyrus.

  Called "Zyelyonaya trawa" (green grass) by the group "Zyemlyani" (Earthlings).

• The cosmonauts, prior to climbing up a small staircase to get to the elevator next to the rocket, were each given a playful kick in the butt. Is this a long-standing tradition? Any interesting stories behind this?

  According the latest info I have is 1/5 will go down at the end of 2013 for the planned heavy modernization programme to allow Soyuz 2 series launchers

  
  Modernization of 1/5 for Soyuz-2 rockets has been canceled.

• They said something along the lines that Sergey Nikolaevich Ryazanskiy's father Nikolai Mikhailovich was a space engineer? I was wondering
  if there was any relationship to late chief guidance designer Mikhail Sergeevich Ryazanskiy? (like maybe, grandad?)
