</div>I also heard {DaHjaj}. I'd be very surprised if they wrote more than a few words for him, and I doubt it had anything really to do with his speech in English (which did not contain the word "Today", as I recall).<br>

</div>What I caught made perfect sense, I just wonder if it was technically accurate. If so, then I now know that "Blast off!" in Russian is "poshol" (literally "It went!"), which is kind of neat.<br>
