In 2009, the Russian Federal Space Agency officially named Trava u Doma the anthem of Russian cosmonautics. Even today, the song is traditionally played as crews depart from the hotel on their way to the launchpad at Baikonur. It serves as a reminder that no matter how far humanity reaches into the stars, our hearts remain tethered to the ground we walk on.

Released in the early 1980s, Trava u Doma was composed by Vladimir Migulya with lyrics by Anatoly Poperechny. While Zemlyane was already a popular group, this specific track catapulted them to legendary status. The lyrics pivot away from the typical cold, technical descriptions of space travel. Instead, they focus on the poignant, human side of the journey: the longing for home and the simple beauty of Earth’s nature—the "green, green grass" that cosmonauts dream of while orbiting in a vacuum of stars.
