First Man to Walk in Space: Alexei Leonov March 18, 1965

[BenjaminArshadTV]

I just don't understand why it has to be so f***ing expensive to go to space, as an ordinary citizen, this is something everyone should get to experiense once in their life, of course fuel and all that other bullshit is expansive, but still man come on! :P

[DeadMemories03]

What is with all the America vs Russia comments, Both countries leaders delayed humanity reaching space after world war 2 instead building ICBM's to threaten each other. Russia got man into space, America got man to the moon, Apollo 11 left one of Yuri Gagarin's medals on the moon as a mark of respect on their part, right now Russians and Americans are in the ISS working together. If we could get over the politics and work together we could do so much more than sit here insulting each other.

@DeadMemories03 Hello! His engineer in Brazil and fan of space exploration. I never knew that Apollo11 left a medal of great Yuri Gagarin on the moon. Can you indicate where you read it? If you remember? I wish it happened. It would be an act of honor and respect not only to Yuri, but to all who died in the journey to space. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.

[DeadMemories03]

@aczjbr Hi! "When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, they honored Yuri Gagarin by leaving behind one of his medals. There on the Mare Tranquilitus it remains with a medal that belonged to Comsonaut Vladimir Komorov and an Apollo shoulder patch commemorating the American astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. These tokens lie near a plaque which reads: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind."

[DeadMemories03]

@aczjbr Sorry ran out of characters. That's an extract from the speech made by Astronaut John W. Young in 1971 at the tribute to Yuri Gagarin. Hope that helped, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask me. Regards Aaron.

[aczjbr]

@DeadMemories03 Alright! This is irrelevant. Never my teachers told me that. Neither astronomers of my country. This has never read or seen in any media or outside of here. This is an act of honor and humanity. Have defended the way the moon against the Illuminati and the fools in science. Now it will be by an act of honor and honorable men. I'll spread the news in English, Portuguese, Spanish and French. This can not be forgotten. Thanks for giving me hope. until tomorrow!

[DeadMemories03]

@aczjbr Glad I could help, if you type in Yuri Gagarin on youtube the second video down by RussiaToday does mention it towards the end and I seem to remember it being mentioned on the BBC's stargazing live in the UK but I do agree it should not be forgotten.

[aczjbr]

@DeadMemories03 I found the speech in another site the entire speech

[wollin20]

This guy had balls of plutonium!

[nukeurhouse12]

Soviets were faster!..First man in Space..Yuri Gagarin will never be forgotten!

[Frankeinstein127]

@nukeurhouse12 YES! but the americans did the first space walk

[Spindry96]

Astrnauts or Cosmonauts they were all brave heroes risking their lives to push the boundaries of science.

[AroundSun]

If we didn't care about safety we probably would have had the first everything too.

[Tthrizzle85]

Congrats to Russia and USA... I'm American but I believe we need russia and they need us.. If we can combine our efforts humanity will succeed for the future in space!

[aghoribaba666]

american are the loser's hahahahah

[afg96]

The first man was Yuri Gagarin!

[TheJomogogo]

@afg96

This is the first man to get out of the capsule and do a "space walk" dumbass, not the first man in space. derhhhh

[afg96]

@TheJomogogo Bitch then why does it says "first man to walk in space" alexei leonov? idiot

[TheJomogogo]

@afg96

Because alexi leonov WAS the first man to do a space walk you stupit fuck. Yuri gagarin never did.

[afg96]

@TheJomogogo Moron the man on the video is Yuri Gagarin how do you explain that? And yes he did do space walk I can even show you a video about it.

[TheJomogogo]

@afg96

Gagarin only made one space flight, he did not leave the capsule, and you are an idiot. Look it up for yourself fool.

[afg96]

@TheJomogogo Lol you are calling me an idiot? I grew up in Russia and you are calling me an idiot? I think I would know who it is in the video okay! That is Yuri and if you knew Russian which I highly doubt you do, you would recognize his voice!

[milktoastmatty]

@afg96 You're typical youtube trash. You think you know everything there is to know about history, when a simple internet search could prove your point wrong. Yuri Gagarin died when he was 34, meaning he couldn't appear as an old man in this video. He went into space once. He was only up there for an hour or two; not nearly enough time to do an EVA.

[PPAVV]

Anochin and Gallaj????

[DodgeCoronado]

Alexei Leonov was co-writer of the sci-fi movie Orion's Loop (Petlya Oriona, 1980), directed by Vasili Levin.

A strange phenomenon has been noticed on the outskirts of our Solar system that quickly approaches the Earth. It's called "Orion's Loop." A spaceship with a crew of people and androids identical to them is sent to intercept the anomaly. But strange events start happening as the spaceship approaches the mysterious loop.

[klin1klinom]

@AmmoBravo What, all the stir around Appolo conspiracy theories got to you?

[nomorechoco]

@AmmoBravo no it isnt

[Nautilus04]

@AmmoBravo - Guys everything is faked!!!! even you speaking is fake, YOU ARE FAKE, there is no space, everybody is fake., USSR is fake, USA is fake. THEY WALKED AROUND IN THE BACK GARDEN AT NIGHT. PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO BE CATAPULTED IN SPACE AND NEVER COME BACK.

[trod999]

@Nautilus04 How can we know that your comment is real?

[Nautilus04]

@trod999 - You cant. How do you know its we and not just YOU.

[trod999]

@Nautilus04 We tried that, but it turned out that the catapult was fake too.

[Nautilus04]

@trod999 - Ahh dam it, what an illusionary world we live in. Am gonna go and have a shite.

[kewla1d]

I believe this but it all looks like out of a bad power rangers movie lol.

[youngwyte5]

think about it her on earth we clearly see the stars at night bright stars far away but they ass on the damn moon u dont see not one stay man never been to the moon its bs think about it

[dcb1138]

@youngwyte5

Think outside the BOX: Do you see stars in sunlight....no....ALL the photos on the moon are in BRIGHT sunlight. (yes the sky is black) but its DAY time. Stars aren't visible in daylight. You can't digest that a black sky in space in present in sunlight and without

[kojimapie]

@youngwyte5 We havn't stayed because we would have to send rockets to the moon carrying supplies regularly, which would cost far to much money, NASA has been to the moon seven times, until the senate cut funding for the moon projects. Now that water has been found on the moon, theyres hope for building a space station close by to use it

[iamnotvaio]

Seriously, can't we have a video about astronauts without having you uneducated conspiracy theory bastard repeating a question that has already been answered countless of times?!

[rossco1966]

You must remember this WAS the high point of soviet/russian space achievement. After this it was all downhill. 3 man voshod pointless mission, Failure with soyuz, failure with N1, failure to get to the moon, no more planetry probes, no grand voyage mission, pointless military micro-space stations, buran way too late and a copy, mir being kept alive on american donations whilst slowly burning, rotting, being crashed into. Breshnev was fatal to soviet space and its never recovered. Joke.

[TonyFirelli]

@rossco1966 But then The Buran was the again win over America it was much much much better then the American Shuttle

[predatortheme]

wait .. i thought Alan shepard was the first to do the spacewalk

[hamishwsmacdonald]

Both the Americans and the Russians used German rocket scientists from von Braun's wartime V2 rocket program. So when the Russians took the lead for most of the the 1950s and early 1960s, a NASA official wryly commented: "OK, so their Germans are better than our Germans!"

[2RayneR7]

@hamishwsmacdonald Well russia got to Germany first so they managed to salvage more stuff. Like the design for the AK-47 :D! 

[redarmy97]

i can tell all of you are making a big deal out of this,this goes to the americans...YOU CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!!

[africkinamerican]

they faked it

[roflcoppterlol]

Think of space like a house that mankind could never get into, generations of ancestors had peeked threw the windows to get a small glimpse inside. The great Soviet Union where the first to unlock the door and walk inside, all America did was follow it in and start touching all the stuff.

[rossco1966]

hmmm.... sounds like you're still pissed about the whole first to the moon thing... someone needs a hug. Not sure what "stuff" your talking about....

Russians have no-one to blame with not getting to the moon first than themsleves...

[roflcoppterlol]

the stuff is the moon, the house is space. Russia got into space first, why people care who was first on the moon is beyond me.

ist like Russia made the first bike and America where just the first to pull a wheelie on it :\ and yet people care more about the wheelie than the bike itself

[2RayneR7]

@roflcoppterlol Going out in space gives you fuck all. Landing on another body gives you everything.

[osara4love1]

Did you Americans get to that moon for real? Oh! man let us stop fooling ourselves at this stage of life. I wondered how they make it through the radiation point between the earth and moon arthmosphere.

[dinmagic]

@osara4love1

I would be very glad to answer that question for you, just by PM though. The last thing I want is flood another video with childish conspirators.

[proferic]

The bumbling Soviet Union did everything first and half-assed with substandard equipment. Leonov almost died because he couldn't get back into the spacecraft. That's because of substandard equipment.

[roflcoppterlol]

@proferic

the fact the russians did it with 'substandard equipment' just adds ti how great there achivement is

[2RayneR7]

@proferic Thats because they were in a hurry. They didnt care that much about safety as Americans did. They just wanted to be first and they succeeded.

[MrWooaa]

ya. i am a USA citisen and i agree.

[tsns1]

@roflcoppterlol Yea, I think we were dealing w/ the Communist invation of French Vietnam, that slowed our Space Program down a bit...

[dachhh]

@roflcoppterlol without the 'space race', neither side would have had the motivation, or the political and economic support, so who actually went first in the end is not so relevant. The soviets made it into space, the americans made it onto the moon, and soon the chinese will make it to mars. We all leapfrog over each other, the important thing is to look beyond the national boundaries and see what we can achieve together instead

[snickerguy7]

@roflcoppterlol Russia may have opened the front door, but they turned back around while America went all the way to the back door.

[supermeerkat]

@roflcoppterlol The Soviet Union opened the front door, but could go no further. The US went on holiday in the house.

[ranlaen]

@supermeerkat The Soviets opened a door for humanity and the USA went camping on the door steps,Humans will go further out one day.The guy who camped on doorsteps will be forgotten by history,but history will never forget the first man and woman who opened the door for them.

[STRATCAT101]

@roflcoppterlol Thats a good one,but is true.

[2RayneR7]

@roflcoppterlol Doesnt matter who got there first. It matters who lives in the House now ;) 

[notessimodude]

@roflcoppterlol That analogy is terrible. Why don't you look at Humanity as a collective of genius and trial & error rather than choosing one nation over another? A bit tribal, maybe? A better analogy would be this: Space is like an ocean around an island. Russians were the first to sail its waters, Americans were the first to reach the new world. But enough of 'who was first'. This tribal patriotism bullshit pisses me off.

[dl7und]

Yes. And now try this "reading" thing one more time.

[pooladrian]

LOL. An American was the first person to walk on the moon.
