How much further have the cadets got to go in space? Well, just a short walk, it would seem.
The cosmonauts are preparing for the climax of their trip - in more ways than one.
For much of the afternoon Drew and Yevgeny prepared Billy, Keri and Paul for their space walk which will take them somewhere they won't believe.
And Charlie? The unfortunate cadet was forbidden to float in space due to the liberation of a worm from his bowels last night. And if you believe that, you believe ANYTHING.
As usual, the cadets approached their imminent space walk as they have every activity so far - by reverting to type.
Paul gathered the other two for a group hug and a rhyme, Keri worried about the size of her bum in the generous spacesuit and Billy did a few push-ups "just to see if I could", he said.
Their approaching giant leap into the void (or somewhere closer to home) seemed to quell the doubts that had been floating around Earth Orbiter 1 like a bad smell since last night.
"You can feel the coldness," Billy.
"Don't worry. I think you're very brave," said Drew, waving the intrepid trio off into the dark with Charlie and Yevgeny.
"We hope you enjoy the good time, " called the Russian.
And so do we. Good luck cosmonauts.
