Cosmonaut Borisenko assessed the possibility of people with disabilities flying into space

“Someday they will.

The only question is when - this is clearly not a matter of the near future, because limited opportunities are still limited opportunities.

For example, in case of landing outside the planned point, the crew will have to survive, despite the satellite phone and GPS.

Sometimes the equipment fails ... and it may happen that the crew will have to survive for the nth number of days, ”he said.

According to him, in such conditions, a person with disabilities can endanger the life of the entire crew. 

“In particularly harsh conditions, for example, in a winter forest, when overboard is -30 ° C, it requires maximum effort from all crew members.

Anything can happen, ”Borisenko noted.

Earlier, cosmonaut Anna Kikina talked about learning to survive in the wild.
