“perhaps the old Mir crew could get back together”

im crying. I wish that was true. *sobs :,)

oh! and that mir crew get back together is a true too. on december 2017, Musa Manarov and Vladimir titov visiting moscow center of culture dagestan. they both meet together. again.

I honestly cannot wait to work for the next 10/15 years and then just drop everything and move to a nice area with loads of land where I can get a job helping other people and every night I come home to my goats/cows/dogs/cats and I can hang around barefoot on my front porch and care for all my plants

thank you for telling me your story too!!! im totally really agree with you!👏👏

How did i first get interested with russian cosmonaut-

um– well– im gonna tell it here.

actually this is asked by @la-francaise-de-coeur ! 

so….hmm…it started when i was on grade 5 elementary school (2015).

i read a library book IPTEK (science and technology book) on my school library. i found a part about space…im kinda curious about space…yeah…

 I go to the part “human in space”. On there, i see cosmonaut Yuri gagarin, Valentina tereshkova, and astronaut Neil armstrong. i read it, and also i search them on google too. and i was like…wow…yuri gagarin and the others is pretty amazing! a space man!! great!!  he is quietly cute too….after i liked yuri gagarin and valentina tereshkova, i search another cosmonauts like Gherman titov, Andran Nikolayev, Valery Bykovsky, Alexei leonov, Komarov, and more of soviet old era cosmonauts.

when i go up to grade 6, i have a smartphone and i started to post space memes and arts on my instagram. on my school, nobody is know about yuri gagarin. they are just know neil armstrong, kinda sad tbh– but on instagram, i found an indonesian friend who like/know yuri gagarin too! i was happy! because im indonesian! and the first space otp i made is, gagarin and tereshkova.HEHAHAHAaa~

When i graduated, into middle high school (2016) i watching a tv and they are talking about muslim astronauts. and i found one muslim cosmonaut named…Musa Manarov.

im very curious about him and i go to google to read a wiki about him. from there, i started to know his crew mate, Viktor Afanasyev. viktor…he is calm, cold looking person, and cool! i see manarov and afanasyev are looking friendly together on MIR…and…i started to ship them. i was so exited to draw their fanarts. *screams*

and from that too, there is another cosmonaut named helen sharman and sergei krikalev. krikalev… he is cool! i started to like him <3 and his crewmate Volkov and Jean-Loup chretien. since 2017, i starting too search new-era cosmonauts/astronauts like Sergey Volkov, Oleg Kornienko, Soichi Noguchi, Yuri Malenchenko, Scott Kelly, Chris hadfield, Paolo Nespoli and many more…

Its been 3-4 years i liked them. The cosmonauts. Cosmonauts.

Because they’re cool and an amazing hero.

from mother russia.

i would wrote a book. lmao.

Reblog if it’s okay for anybody to message you if they’re feeling lonely during self isolation. Let’s get through this together!

I think this is the highest-quality version of this photo I’ve seen. Found here, color correction done by me. Really stunning quality—the freckle’s on Ed’s hands and his red hair, Rog’s cowlick, Gus’ upside-down watch (as usual), the freckle on his cheek, and wow, he was going to be completely gray very soon, wasn’t he? Our beautiful boys.

“I think the public has accepted the possibility that there is a risk. We in the program accept this possibility also… It’s going to be exciting, this conquest of space, and full of a lot of wonderful things, things we haven’t even dreamed about yet.” Ed White

“If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we’re in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen.” Gus Grissom

“I don’t like to say anything’s scary about it. There’s a lot of unknowns, of course, and a lot of problems that could develop, or might develop, and they’ll have to be solved, and that’s what we’re there for. This is our business, to find out if this thing will work for us… I definitely think you’re apprehensive and you’re considering what’s involved there, you’re thinking about it. But you know how to handle it and take care of it and do the job.” Roger Chaffee

Being on Tumblr is like being on a website

20%: learn history from the historical person

80%: shipping them

HELL YEAH BABY
