The crew is getting ready to leave for the launch site, and one of the things they're supposed to do before they leave is sit down and "sit in silence" for a minute. This is a tradition in Russia, and the men are psyched to be able to do it. They've already sent all their stuff to the launch pad, so they don't need to worry about forgetting anything. The sound of the launch launch site rattles the men as they prepare for their departure. The men are excited to see the trees they've planted three years before, and they chatter about how they'll be planting them in the coming days. The sounds rattle the men's personality, but they also rattle Russian superstitions, such as superstitions about jumping into a lake in the dead of winter, superstition about sitting down before planting a tree, and superstition about superstition about kissing a woman's butt. Finally, the men decide to have the crew snap a photo of themselves before they go into space. It's not a great idea, but it's something they should try.
