In celebration of Cosmonautics Day, I’ll be using these wonderful Valentina Tereshkova stamps to ship orders placed in my Etsy shop today, on April 12.

I only have 6 of these, but if there are more orders I have some other nice space-themed stamps. :)

I just want you to know that Gennady Padalka is the ugliest man on Earth and looks like a soft shelled turtle. That’s all.

And i have to disagree with you, he's more like gecko

who is the best tennis boi???

yes. he is.

More than 2 million Syrians have fled to Turkey, driven out by the fighting that erupted in their homeland in 2011. But none can claim an odyssey quite like that of Mohammed Faris.

As Syria’s first and only cosmonaut, Mohammed Faris rocketed into orbit with two Soviet colleagues in 1987. He conducted experiments and photographed his country from space. By the time he returned to Syria, most everyone in the country knew his name.

Yet Faris is now a refugee himself, fleeing to Turkey after speaking out against the government’s efforts to crush the 2011 uprising. He ended up in Istanbul, much better off than most, but a refugee all the same.

Once A National Hero, Syria’s Lone Cosmonaut Is Now A Refugee In Turkey
