Right,as It Is Known,my Tumblr Page Is Solely Dedicated To Yuri Gagarin,but Here,I Must Open An Exception

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

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].

So!First of all,hello,everybody!I am a fan of Yuri Gagarin,who just decided to make a tumble page in his honour.So,I am starting by posting my own video on this page.However,there was actually a mistake in the video.You will notice the video says Yuri was the first man on the moon.I correct it:This is not right.Yuri was THE FIRST MAN IN SPACE,BUT NOT IN THE MOON.

Epic fail in here,but I hope you enjoy the rest of my video anyway!!

Happy Watching!!!

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.

And Finally,i Found A Suitable Frame For My Mega Giant Poster Of Almighty Eagle Of The Skies,Major Yuri

And finally,i found a suitable frame for my mega giant poster of Almighty Eagle of the Skies,Major Yuri Gagarin!!I wanted something simple,as Yuri was very humble and a simple person himself.Under those circumstances,I wouldn't choose something excessively glamorous,and I opted for a simple wooden frame.Said and done,and the result was beautiful!

                          An Open Letter To Yuri Gagarin

                          An open letter to Yuri Gagarin

       =================================================

Now,just a month away from my Trial Flight Lesson,I'm feeling more and more those strange butterflies in my stomach.It's indeed,something I always dreamed of doing. I want to feel how it is like...Flying. I want to feel how you felt. I want to feel that freedom of looking down at Earth,from up above the skies... I have now known you from many years,from when I was in school... I studied about you... I had exams about you,I had the highest scores in the class. All because you were always my hero. It's difficult to write all these feelings from many years,in one letter only. Even before knowing who you were,way before I was in school,I grew up preferring to play with replicas of MIGs-15,instead of playing with dolls. I loved aeroplanes since a very early age. And you,Yuri,just completed that love. Yes,you were and still are famous. You went where no man dared to go before. But,that is not the true reason as to why I admire you. The reason is...Your simplicity. Your ways,your smile,your expression... The way you inspired,and still inspire  so many people. I could look at your eyes and smile forever. I could listen to you talking,forever. You were a special man,to many people. You are a special man to me. It's not about fame,it's not even about bravery. It's about your charm. The sweetness of your smile. Everything in you was just perfect. So funny,how I can love somebody who sadly died,way before I was even born. That's how great you are. It shows your true greatness. You changed the world. You changed many hearts. You changed many minds. You would be surprised how Humankind has developed,if you could see us nowadays. However,not everything is so great. I wish people would listen more of your words and put them into practice. Our Earth is in danger. People get lost in their own ambition. Development has been considerably good,but it also has had some considerable negative impact on our planet,unfortunately. Space research continues,as it always did,but obviously we still have a long way to go,and a lot to learn.That's the world for you. I wonder how it would have been if you hadn't died. I feel it would have been a much better world,than it is today,somehow. Well,it seems to happen how people usually say: "The best ones always go first.".This seems to be true,unfortunately. However,I trust you will be watching us all,from the skies up above. Now,you are free to fly on Space forever,as you once said,you could go on flying on Space forever.I intended to visit your last place,in the Kremlin Walls,Moscow,before starting my Trial Flight Lesson,but sadly,I will only be able to do it,much after the Flight. However,I know,that when i step into that aeroplane,and when i fly it,you will fly with me,right by my side. When I am up in the skies,I will think of you,and smile,because I will be flying with you in my heart. Such is the respect I have for you... Such is the devotion to you,present in my heart,since my childhood. For this,and for so much more,for the smiles,for the sweetness,for the friendliness,for the professionalism,for the bravery,for the way you showed us our own world,thank you! Thank you,Yuri. You won't ever be forgotten.

      From this fan girl,with an open heart...To you.

Translation to Russian Language of the Letter.

=============================================

Открытое письмо Юрия Гагарина

       ================================================= 

Сейчас, всего через месяц от моего урока испытательный полет, я чувствую себя все больше и больше этих странных бабочек в животе. Это в самом деле, то, что я всегда мечтал. Я хочу почувствовать, как это как ... летать. Я хочу чувствовать, как вы себя чувствовали. Я хочу чувствовать, что свобода глядя на Земле, с высоты небес ... Теперь я знал, что ты в течение многих лет, с момента, когда я учился в школе ... Я изучал о тебе ... У меня были экзамены, как вы, у меня были самые высокие оценки в классе. Все потому, что ты всегда был моим героем. Трудно написать все эти чувства в течение многих лет, в одном письме только. Даже не зная, кто ты, путь, прежде чем я был в школе, я вырос предпочитая играть с репликами МиГи-15, вместо того чтобы играть в куклы. Я любил самолеты с очень раннего возраста. А вы, Юрий, только что завершили эту любовь. Да, вы были и остаются известными. Вы пошли, где ни один человек не решился пойти раньше. Но, это не истинная причина, почему я восхищаюсь вами. Причина в том, ... Ваш простоты. Путей ваших, ваши улыбки, ваше выражение ... То, как вы вдохновили, и до сих пор вдохновляют многих людей. Я мог смотреть на ваши глаза и улыбку навсегда. Я могу слушать вас говорят, навсегда. Ты был специальный человек, для многих людей. Вы особенный человек для меня. Это не о славе, это даже не о храбрости. Речь идет о вашем шарм. Сладость вашей улыбки. Все в тебе было просто прекрасно. Так смешно, как я могу любить кого-то, кто умер к сожалению, путь еще до моего рождения. Вот как большой Вы. Это показывает ваше истинное величие. Вы изменили мир. Вы изменили многих сердцах. Вы изменили многие умы. Вы были бы удивлены, как человечество сложилось, если бы вы могли видеть нас в настоящее время. Тем не менее, не все так велик. Я желаю, чтобы люди слушали больше ваших слов и применять их на практике. Наша Земля в опасности. Люди теряются в своих собственных амбиций. Развития была значительно хорошо, но она также имела некоторые значительное негативное воздействие на нашу планету, к сожалению. Космические исследования продолжаются, как всегда, но, очевидно, у нас еще есть длинный путь, и много learn.That 'ы мир для вас. Интересно, как это было бы, если бы ты не умер. Я чувствую, что было бы намного лучше мир, чем она является сегодня, так или иначе. Ну, это, кажется, происходит, как люди обычно говорят: «Лучшие из них всегда идут в первую очередь." Это похоже на правду, к сожалению.. Тем не менее, я надеюсь, вы будете смотреть всех нас, от неба наверху. Теперь вы можете свободно летать на космических вечно, как вы когда-то сказали, вы могли бы пойти на летающих по космическим forever.I намеревался посетить ваше последнее место, в стенах Московского Кремля, перед началом моего облет урок, но к сожалению, Я только будет в состоянии это сделать, много после полета. Тем не менее, я знаю, что, когда я ступаю в тот самолет, и когда я лечу его, вы полетите со мной, прямо рядом со мной. Когда я бываю в небе, я буду думать о тебе, и улыбка, потому что я буду летать с тобой в моем сердце. Такова плане у меня для вас ... Такова преданность вам, присутствующий в моем сердце с детства. За это и за многое другое, за улыбки, за сладость, для дружелюбия, за профессионализм, за отвагу, за то, как вы показали нам наш собственный мир, спасибо! Спасибо, Юрий. Вы никогда не будет забыт.

      С этого вентилятора девушки, с открытым сердцем ... Вам.
