Hi! :) Just before I go to read another piece of the awesome book, I must thank you for the interesting and touching article about Yuri´s best friend. This all will be also described in the book. I´m not there yet, but I have read about it from other sources too. How Yuri tried to do everything possible and how he showed an enormous courage to go against the establishment, this all impresses and amazes me. What a great man. And BTW, where did you buy this big pin badge with Yuri on it? :)

Well,i clearly needed to mention Komarov in here,as he was Yuri’s best friend.I am very interested to know about what really happened,indeed.Yes,Yuri was that type of man who wasn’t afraid to stand for what is right,and that’s another great thing he had in his charachter!

As for the pin badge,yes,i did buy it,and it was already shipped.In fact,i tagged you in my latest facebook status,to let you know about it.Also,the necklace with Yuri’s pic was already shipped.God,I really can’t wait to wear it!!LOL

RU-1475210 From Valentina in St. Petersburg, Russia 23 February 2013

Right,this is my beloved sister's edited photo of Yuri!Ahah,she doesn't want to admit,but she,just like me...loves him,too.Therefore,the edited photo!!And by the way,Aithne is my name.So,it was me who actually influenced her,and she started loving Yuri,because of me!Yeah,it's my fault!!! lol

Debo ser la única persona desocupada sobre la faz de la tierra que hace una firma sobre Yuri Gagarin titulalda como Synchronicity de Sugizo.

(Nótese que ya acabaron las clases y me tomaré el fin de semana libre ^_^. Y que Aithne me influencia demasiado, as fuck XD)

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.
