Panel 1 (russian):
GISELLE: Why, we didn't get centrifuge medicaments during our cosmonaut training …
IVAN: No. But back then, the rotation of the centrifuge was more like a joyride compared to today.
Panel 2 (russian):
GISELLE: Zis is not ze same centrifuge we used when we were studying…
IVAN: Nope. It's much, much bigger! And faster. You have to be able to withstand up to 12 G’s when flying to Mars. And not just for a few seconds.
GISELLE: ‘and on ‘eart: you don't want us to arrive on Mars.
IVAN: Above all, we don't want you to miss Mars and accidentally hit Jupiter and get spaghettified by the gravity there, hahaha!
