you can actually leave Earth First, you need to complete two years of basic training Astronaut trainees must be fluent in Russian so they'll be able to effectively communicate with their colleagues and other experts at the Russian Mission Control Centre, especially during important missions Furthermore, they also have to learn everything about how spaceships work and the complicated science involved in space stations And of course, there is also physical training Astronauts in training need to earn scuba certification and swim three laps in a pool while wearing a flight suit They must
