ASTP astronauts Tom Stafford (right) and Deke Slayton receive instructions in the Russian language at the Johnson Space Center in June 1974. The instructor is Mrs. Nina Horner.

My understanding is that to avoid confusion during the rendezvous and docking the Apollo crew spoke Russian and the Soyuz crew spoke in English. Da/Neit?

I like the Apollo 16 mug on the table. Wonder if Deke brought it in the room.

Stafford: "Uhm, excuse me ma'am, but how do you say "Wow look at the time! I believe it's Happy Hour at the Outpost!""

Poor Ms. Horner; must have been a tall task to teach Russian to a guy nicknamed "mumbles"!
