Konstantin Borisov was an ordinary office manager who set out on a journey to fulfil his childhood dream and become a cosmonaut, which is how astronauts are called in Russia. It took him seven years to pursue this dream. Starting as a candidate, he underwent a rigorous selection process and joined the astronaut corps. However, that was just the beginning.

And after 5 years, he heard the coveted words: «You're flying to space»!
