Tom Cruise is all set to become the first actor to shoot a film in space. This came to light after a Russian film team declared that they are en route to the International Space Station to start going for a show named The Challenge.

A Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft launched at 4:55 a.m. ET on October 5 in Kazakhstan with Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, entertainer Yulia Peresild and film-maker Klim Shipenko towards the International Space Station, as said by NASA.

Pereslid said, “Everything was new to us today, every 30 seconds brought something entirely new. It is almost impossible to think that this all came to reality. I also feel like I’m still dreaming.” as quoted in HT.
