*Russia's humanoid robot FEDOR SKYBOT F-850 chose his favourite band THE ROCKETS to accompany him on his journey to the International Space Station (ISS) - August 22
Fedor Skybot F-850, the Russian humanoid robot, was the first robot in history to undertake a solo mission to the International Space Station. Aboard a Soyuz MS-14 rocket Fedor departed from the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan on August 22 heading for the space station.
Before departing he made an official video for his favourite group - The Rockets - whose brand of Space Rock is legendary in Russia. The track chosen was "Electric Delight" - the special re-mix version is Track 04.03.16 ONLY ON THIS ALBUM!
