A group of Soviet cosmonauts are called to the Kremlin.
Upon arriving they are ushered to the Brezhnev office.
– Ahem. – says Brezhnev. – Of course, you know that Americans sent their astronauts to the Moon. We, Soviet people, need to do better. So we are sending you on a mission to the Sun.
– But, tovarisch General Secretary, Sun is very hot, we’ll burn if we try!!!
– Ahem, do you think we in the Party are complete fools, eh? We will wait for the night first.
