In childhood, many people dream of becoming an astronaut, of course, because it seems to children that nothing is impossible, and they are full of enthusiasm to explore new spaces. Despite the fact that dreams of flying into space dissolve with age, there are those who still decide to conquer outer space and develop space science. On the eve of Cosmonautics Day, we offer you a selection of quotes and sayings by astronauts and philosophers about space.
Cosmonautics began to actively develop in the second half of the last century. The first cosmonauts were the dogs Belka and Strelka, who flew in 1960. Their journey lasted more than 25 hours. The dogs were carefully selected; for their flight, the arrangement of the rocket was thought out to the smallest detail; the designers, led by S. Korolev, did everything possible to ensure that the dog pilots returned from space safe and sound. The first person to fly into outer space was Yuri Gagarin, who flew into space on April 12, 1961. And the first female cosmonaut was Valentina Tereshkova.
Astronautics has a limitless future, and its prospects are limitless, like the Universe itself. (Sergey Korolev)
Since so many children dream of becoming astronauts in childhood, it means that astronautics really does have a future. The main thing is that children don’t stop dreaming...)
