Cosmonautics Day

Today is April 12th. In this connection, I publish on Habré several photos from the Soviet press.

Pioneers of space
This is how our pioneers of space looked like. Americans played monkeys in this role.

Pioneers of space
Sometimes the fate of the four-legged astronaut was known in advance. When the ship went into orbit, the sensors removed from the animal all the necessary evidence for scientists. After this, the supply of oxygen ended and the dog died.

Weightlessness
As you know, weightlessness can be met on the ground, for example, in a falling plane.

First cosmonauts
All our first cosmonauts were military pilots. Those. serious, brave and determined guys.

Cosmonaut training
The very first manned flight into space took place thanks to Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev. It was he who, after listening to the Queen, gave the nod to the creation of the ship Vostok. The very same General Designer Queen did not exist in nature. This man was one big state secret.

Medical check
They say that Gagarin, among other things being equal, was chosen for the first flight into space because of his charming smile. No wonder. Gagarin was to become not just the first astronaut in the world, but also a symbol of the USSR. The US military had to weep, looking at how Yura smiles at them from the pages of newspapers all over the world.

Medical check
Although, I don’t particularly smile when doctors scoff at you day and night.

Gagarins
Soviet super-hero inside the Soviet super-family.

Before the start
According to the plan, the East was to make a revolution around the planet and land. Everything was calculated. Even if, after going into orbit, the engines fail, the East will be attracted by the gravity of the planet. True, it could take longer. Therefore, the first cosmonaut was supplied with food, and if necessary, Gagarin could even fulfill his biological needs. This was taken care of by our engineers.

The American astronaut did not fly around the planet, but just flew into space and immediately returned. And already at the start he wanted to write. But it was too late to shoot the spacesuit, the time before the start was running out. So he wrote right in the costume. So America wet conquered space.

Way to start
Everyone remembers what Gagarin said when the rocket took off the ground? It is strange that he did not say "Fly!"

And Gagarin was the first person to see our entire planet. He said she is very beautiful.

And the surname of our cosmonaut is he the name of the bird Gagara.

Astronauts on Red Square
We were the first to conquer space. This is a great achievement of all the Soviet people and the country in which I was born.
