After the flight of Yuri Gagarin in 1961, Sergey Korolyov, the head Soviet rocket engineer, came up with the idea of putting a woman in space. On 16 February 1962 Valentina Tereshkova was selected to join the female cosmonaut corps.

  • 'Soviets didn''t test as much as Americans though'

    I think they did. It's sad but true statistics, America lost about 4% of astronauts, Russia about 1%, which means that Soviet space program was 4 times safer.

  • AtlantisSaturn is nothing more than a mythomaniac liar.

    Soviet launches were usually not announced beforehand because they could be postponed for safety tests or because of th weather. This would be immediately used by American propaganda. However, they all took place, and even in cases when spacemen died, it was not concealed. BTW Soviet space missions were as safe as they could be. Every new spacecraft was first launched unmanned. Dogs were launched before Gagarin, their health was examined.

  • I don't think she's the first female cosmonaut. Maybe the first female cosmonaut to come back alive, however.

  • @evaliaro YOU WERE TOLD TO GO AWAY, WHORE.

  • @MoscowMaestro It's stupid to speak about politeness when you were the one who insulted me first. Idiot.

  • @MoscowMaestro Your mummy must have hated you a whole lot when you were a child. I pity you... Just kidding. I think you're laughable. Eat shit and die, troll. /ignore

  • @evaliaro Valentina Tereshkova went into space on a mission for the furtherance of science. YOU, ROMANIAN WHORE went to Baia Mare to give a blowjob for $8 to a 58-year-old American named Sam. GET OFF THIS PAGE, GET OFF YOUTUBE, YOU ARE A WORTHLESS UNEDUCATED GYPSY.

  • @evaliaro DEAR WHORE, IF YOU CAN'T BE POLITE AMONG THE COMMENTS DEDICATED TO A GENUINELY HEROIC WOMAN, THEN FUCK OFF AND DIE OF AIDS, YOU DUMB GYPSY WHORE.

  • @MoscowMaestro Dear shmuck, I'm really disappointed about your lack of creativity. You're a pathetic excuse for a human being. Do the world a favor and blow your brains away, as it seems that you don't have any idea how to use them. You're just a useless troll with no social life. End of discussion.

  • @evaliaro DEAR ROMANIAN GYPSY, YOU ARE A FUCKING SCUM WHORE. GO BACK TO YOUR WORK AS A PROSTITUTE SERVING YANKEE SERVICEMEN FOR $5 PER HOUR, SCUM.

  • @MoscowMaestro Dear asshole, you're a complete moron for the following reasons:

    a) I'm not from USA, I'm from Romania. Assuming that I'm American just because I made a few disapproval comments about the Communist regime from USSR is really stupid.

    b) Even if I were an American, it's ridiculous to condemn a person for the things their government does.

    c) The fact that Americans torture war prisoners at Gitmo doesn't mean that the Gulag never existed, as far as I'm concerned.

  • @evaliaro Hey, it's you guys who run the Gulag on Gitmo, isn't it, now? ROFL!!  Button your piehole, yankee fucktard.
