Space Cadets

Welcome to Space Cadets, where the dream of space travel becomes a hilarious reality. This British television program follows a group of twelve thrill-seeking contestants as they embark on a five-day space mission in low Earth orbit. But there's a twist - the show is an elaborate practical joke, and the "space cadets" are not in Russia, but at a former USAF airfield in Suffolk, surrounded by costumed actors and fake props. The production crew went to great lengths to create an authentic Russian experience, from replacing light switches and electrical outlets to stocking the barracks with Russian-branded foods and toiletries. Will the contestants realize they're part of a hoax or will they blast off into space without a clue? Find out on Space Cadets.
