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

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.

And As I Wait (im)patiently For My Necklace With Yuri's Photo,and For My Trial Flight Lesson,I Woke Up

And as I wait (im)patiently for my necklace with Yuri's photo,and for my Trial Flight Lesson,I woke up this morning,with a huge smile in my lips.The reason?

Well,maybe i am too anxious for that necklace to arrive and for flying,but last night,I had an extraordinary dream.Just a dream,people would say,but fact is,it was damn well real,and as I opened my eyes,I just saw Yuri's face in my eyes!

I did dream I was flying the little Cessna.I had my instructor with me,inside the plane.And suddenly,while I was flying,we both heard the noise of another plane,as if coming near us.I only remember looking out of the window of my Cessna,and out there,right beside me,I see a plane flying too,as if escorting my own plane.I tried to see who was flying it,but initially,i couldn't,since the pilot was looking at the opposite side,and consequently,I wasn't able to see his face.However,in space of seconds,as if feeling I was looking at him,the pilot looks at me.And my God,it was Yuri!He looked happy,with a big smile.But it wasn't for too long,as he waves me with his hand,nods a "yes" with his head,and disappears in the air.Then,I didn't see him anymore,and suddenly woke up.Despite that,when I opened my eyes,I had Yuri's face in my mind!

It was a wonderful dream,and I wish I would always dream about Yuri.I woke up with a really warm feeling.Now,more than ever,I want to take the necklace with me when i go for my flight.If this was not a simple dream,as it felt real,now,I know that wherever Yuri might be,he will be flying with me,when I set my feet on that Cessna.

So,I look up at the skies,and I only have three words to say:

"Thank you,Yuri!"
