According to Konstantin Ernst, Director General of Channel One, the filmmakers wanted to confirm Russia's leadership in the space sector and restore the prestige of the cosmonaut profession in the eyes of the younger generation (as an example, Yulia Peresild herself did not dream of spaceflight as a child). The unique experience of express training for non-professional flight may subsequently be useful for sending scientists or doctors into space on an urgent basis. The development of the project was covered within the framework of the "Evening Urgant" program, whose members moved to the cosmodrome a week before launch.
