I Feel The Same About Him, So Don't Worry, I Understand You. Alexei Leonov Could've Died Because Of Him,

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 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].

And something funny I have found :)

Ahahahahahah,really nice one......These ET's........And...Yuri..LOL

With the dear mama. :)

We both would love to be spacewomen if we had such gorgeous instructor! <3

Hallo dear! :) I just wanted to say hallo and how I loved our chat yesterday together with Jessica. And I just adore your dream about Yuri, oh I wish I could dream about him too! Maybe it will happen :) I will submit you some pics again. And I also wanted to say, that I love to make computer collages and wallpapers and I have already made a lot with various rockstars etc. I´m now dreaming about making one with Yuri too :)

My dearest friend!Well,I have actually edited some photos of Yuri,already.I have a website for that,which is called imikimi.com

I thank you for your kindness in helping me with this Tumblr page to Yuri.It makes me very happy to know know that I'm not alone in my feelings for Yuri.Yes,definitely,our chat yesterday was fantastic.I also loved it very much.And our friend Jessica liked you a lot too!First thing she commented about you to me,when we all finished our conversation was :"Oh my God!Renata understands our feelings!!!"We both thought we were the only ones crazy about Yuri.So,we are proud to welcome you to our worlds!

About the dream,i have to say,it did feel a little bit weird,because this dream didn't feel like it was just a dream.It was very very real.And then Yuri's face in my eyes.I very rarely have this type of dreams.But I felt it so real,that I was feeling this was some kind of message from his side.Obviously,and not surprisingly,we want to think it was,i suppose!LOL.Of course it was not that type of "physical" dream,where you keep close physical contact with the person you dream of.It was just like as if Yuri wanted to say,"Hey,I approve this and I will be flying together with you".But yet,it was wonderful.I wish I wouldn't have woken up!But well.....anyways,I am on Facebook again,online,as always.So,if you wish another dose of crazy chat,just send me a message,and i will reply you back!!Peace to you,sister!

My favourite interview with Yuri Gagarin.Personally,I felt the journalist was being an complete idiot,and somewhere almost in the end of the video,we see Yuri putting up a "fake smile expression"or some kind of sarcastic smile,while keeping his head down,as if wanting to say "You're far too curious,you idiot..." -BTW,why the hell does he ask Yuri about "butterflies in the stomach"????Veeeeeeeery damn doubtful,this guy... LOL

Look at those legs. God in heaven…

OMG,a true Titan!God Apollo in person...speechless... 

Alright...actually today,is one of those days that i feel i would have been better off not getting out of bed!Personal problems,my girlfriend trying to help me in the very best of her possibilities,however,things still seem to go all wrong,for some reason which I'm not grasping.It seems,at this moment,that all is so beyond me!But,not everything is so bad!Having Yuri within my heart,seeing his face,I do realize there's much more to all this than problems.He makes me forget about everything.The world stops.And I realize I am much stronger than I really thought I was.I realize that life is to be lived thru the happiness but also thru the pain and sadness.I realize I can become a better person experiencing what life has to offer me,being it bad or good.In Yuri,I find my courage and strenght to fight.In Yuri,I find the wisdom to find the right path,keeping me away from what's wrong.This man was an angel in life,and is still an angel in death.If there are souls who are meant to inspire people and make them stronger,Yuri is one of them.Thank you,sir...Thank you!
