As the host nation of the 2014 Olympics, Russia is planning to launch part of the Winter Games to space and land part of outer space at the Winter Games. In November, as a traditional torch relay runs the Olympic flame from Moscow to Sochi, an unlit torch will lift off for the International Space Station to take part in an unprecedented spacewalk. Three months later, with the 2014 Olympics underway, seven gold medal winners will receive meteorite-studded medals marking the one year anniversary of the Chelyabinsk meteor strike.
