I want to be a cosmonaut when i grow up. What do you wanna be?
I was gonna say cosmonaut. Let’s start a secret cosmonaut club!
A Cosmonaut, A COSMONAUT??? You would willingly get into a junky, barely space worthy tin can that the 'other' German rocket scientists that Russian captured built using classical Soviet era safety procedures and unreliable non-redundant technology?
THAT Soviet Space Program? The one where Cosmonaut safety was the lowest of priorities.
The one that sent the poor little doggy Laika into space and then left her there to die because it wasn't worth their time or effort or humanity to try to bring the brave little puppy back to earth after you just launched it into space? Hell you cold Russian bastards gave more love to Sputnik's design than they did to that life.
Who still lands all their astronauts in KAZAKHSTAN??? Capsule doesn't splash down, it crashes back to Earth. That increases the danger of Cosmonaut death by a factor of 10.
How Gagarin ever made it back to Earth is a mystery to me.
Titov, Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova.
Valentina Tereshkova was not just the first woman in space but she was the one who approached the partner space ship (Vostok 5) at 5 kilometer distance.
Now that was a woman. Read her life story sometime. The improbable circumstances that brought her from a parachute factory to space is fascinating.
Can't you just be nice Mercury Astronauts like every good American Boy. Damn next you are gonna want to join the Chinese Space Program. You two have a death wish.

Good soviet technology. They still fly over the same carrier and have a greater success rate than the space shuttle. And about how Gagarin made it safe back to Earth: there´s the rumor he bailed out (nobody knew if the capsule would land safe). Go Korolev, Go!
The man was a menance and he knows where the bodies of all the Unknown Cosmonauts are buried.
Read about Valentina, working in a parachute factory to Cosmonaut.
I´ve read about Valentina, and I´m aware that many unknown cosmonauts died, but I still like Korolev´s story. And I would still trust soviet engineers (but I would strongly distrust of their product image designers).
