Jesus I'm so glad that there's someone I can share my obsession with. :D

Cute Yuri :D

Jesus,I'm so happy that I am not the only one who loves Yuri! :D

Here,a rare and beautiful photo of sweet Yuri "trying" to read a newspaper....Hmmmm,what was he thinking,while looking at somewhere?

This one is for you both, our dear beloved boys... to appreciate your bravery, your great heart, your genuine friendship and your impact you have made on us all. We  cannot forget  about you, because you are still alive for us, in our hearts and our minds. Thanks for the love and hope you give us.

We love you <3

You are welcome. your blog is awesome, I admire Yuri Gagarin too Do you speak Russian?

wow,thank you!My pleasure!I love Yuri since my childhood.Well,i speak russian,but it's not fluent,since i grew up in portugal,raised by a portuguese family.Only very recently,I found out my adoptive mother is russian,from the old town of Gzhatsk,now named Gagarin.This is a funny fact,i guess...LOL

Right,as it is known,my Tumblr page is solely dedicated to Yuri Gagarin,but here,I must open an exception to this man named Vladimir Komarov.This man,was Yuri's best friend,and he gave his life in order to save Yuri!His ill-fated flight on Soyuz...omg,this man was brave!In his own words about going on the flight: "If I don't go,they will send Yuri.And we need to protect him."

Probably they all knew things were gonna be really bad,and the flight wouldn't be a success,but from this,to sacrificing his life for his best friend...WOW.

It is said Yuri knew the Soyuz was in no condition to make the flight,when he inspected it,and he spoke out about that.But he was not heard.After the incident,they banned Yuri from flying.As it was not bad enough having lost his best friend and feeling guilty for that,he gets banned from Flying,something which was his life.

I still say,these people had a vacuum in their skulls instead of brains.And I still believe Yuri was actually murdered.

46 years ago today (April 24, 1967) cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov was killed on landing after returning from a 1 day trip in Earth orbit. He was the first person killed during a space mission. His flight, Soyuz-1, was marred by trouble from the moment he entered orbit. Unfortunately, a lot of speculation, rumor, and outright crazy theories still characterize popular notions about this terribly tragic mission. Komarov’s death is like the JFK assassination in U.S. culture; everybody has a theory about why it happened and no one believes the official version. Actually the ‘official’ version is probably the most plausible and likely account. Basically, there were serious problems in the packing of his parachutes (both the primary and the backup chutes) and they both failed to perform properly upon deployment when the capsule was falling through the atmosphere after reentry. Without a working parachute, the capsule smashed into the Earth about 65 kilometers east of the town of Orsk, a town near the southern tip of the Ural Mountain range in southern Russia. The capsule basically flattened like a pancake and exploded upon impact (due to 30 kilograms of hydrogen peroxide which was to have been used for the actual landing but was never used). Komarov may have already been unconscious by the time of impact although we will never know exactly. There was a tape recorder on board to record the cosmonaut during reentry but the tape recorder was found completely melted. Komarov’s body was basically burned to a pulp.

Komarov was 40 years old at the time of his death and probably one of the most accomplished men in cosmonaut corps. He had already flown on the very risky Voskhod mission in 1964 and was the first cosmonaut to fly a second space mission. He was survived by his wife, Valentina, and two children Yevgeniy and Irina who were 16 and 9 at the time of their father’s death.

For a detailed account of his mission, see here [pdf].

For a recent interview with his daughter (in Russian), see here.

Here,see how close Yuri and Komarov were.How sad...Two heros betrayed by their own destinies....Komarov tried to avoid Yuri's certain death,by flying on the Soyuz himself,and in the end,he dies,and Yuri dies too,an year later!Yuri and Komarov story moves me to tears.

When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it

Yuri Gagarin  (via pyrrhic-victoria)

Yes,Sir,I'm with you in this one!Couldn't agree more with your words!Now,I only wish Humankind would have heard and respected your words,which is something that,clearly,is not happening...Sad...

You heartbreaker, you... call me emergency, I´m about to die...
