Valentina Terashkova For The Win
June 16th in 1963, Vostok 6 lifts off from Star City, USSR . The pilot is Valentina Terashkova, the first woman in space.
Today is the day when one of the greatest Women ever went into space. Three days in her tiny capsule and she had to EVACUATE her craft and parachute to earth because those Soviet rocket bastards hadn't figured out a way to land her safely while IN the ship. Those are balls as big as church bells. I don't care what sex you are. Everyone needs to know about Valentina Tereshkova and her story. Where is HER biopic?

And she was only 5'3" tall to boot! Valentina was also 1.5 " taller than Yuri Gagarin....
I didn't know that and I always taught about the soviet space program. She had to parachute out of her ship after three days and 62 revolutions of the Earth.
Nerves of steel indeed! I always thought cosmonauts and astronauts were tall, super humans, so I was surprised to learn how short most were (Neil Armstrong was only 5"9"). More like rocket jockeys, LOL!
