Barry Alibasov, producer of popular band Na-Na, has always had a reputation as a master of promotional tricks. But this time he has outdone himself, the weekly 7 Dnei wrote. He has announced plans to send his band into outer space, no more and no less!

The band's four members – Vladimir Asimov, Vyacheslav Zherebkin, Vladimir Politov and Pavel Sokolov – have successfully passed a medical check-up at the Institute of Medicine and Biology, which cost the producer a total of $40,000 – $10,000 per head. The doctors found all four band members fit for a flight into orbit.

Now Alibasov needs to find another $80 million, as space-flight fares are currently set at $20 million per head.
