Oh, I Could Listen To You For Hours! Even On A Communist Party Congress!

Yurochka, you can give me an autograph everywhere (on every part of my body) <3 <3 <3

Oh hell,yeahhhhh!!! <3

This one is for you both, our dear beloved boys... to appreciate your bravery, your great heart, your genuine friendship and your impact you have made on us all. We  cannot forget  about you, because you are still alive for us, in our hearts and our minds. Thanks for the love and hope you give us.

We love you <3

I feel the same about him, so don't worry, I understand you. Alexei Leonov could've died because of him, what happened to Komarov... And yes, I am on Facebook.

ahah,great!So join the club!! Please feel free to add me!My name on Facebook is Natsumi Ogata Cherry Punk. Hope to see you there!And btw,thanks a lot for reblogging my photos of Yuri! ;)

That smile makes my heart melt.... and not only my heart! (naughty, naughty girl I am) LOL

Right....!what naughty girls WE are!!! Because the same always happens to me!!! LOL

And because making a tribute video to Col. Komarov and not making a video to Yuri at the same time,would be pretty unfair,I decided to post another tribute video to Yuri!Very soon another video will be done,with both Col.Komarov and Yuri togheter.Let's a say,a video to celebrated their wonderful close friendship.

Look at me with those eyes...I can't even...and I don't even know where the hell I should hide myself!!! *dies of love*

Yuri Gagarin, the cosmonaut.

Oh, take me to a flight! :)

Yes, he was such a dreamboy! I saw some documentary just after his flight, when he was greeted by thousands of cheering people and he looked just like a star, like if the light was shining out of him! And the uniform suited him so well, don´t you think? And at the same time he was so humble and so friendly to all. If you had the "submit" option" here on your site, I would like to send you some pics of him I have found. :)

omg,if he was!!!I also have seen people greeting Yuri...I wish I would have been there!!Uniform...right,ahh,yeah,i have a real like for uniforms...and in Yuri...wow,they look even better!In fact,it was his humbless and smile that really attracted me,to be honest.So sweet!!Hmmm,how do i put the "Submit" option in here? :P

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].

For a recent interview with his daughter (in Russian), see here.

So!First of all,hello,everybody!I am a fan of Yuri Gagarin,who just decided to make a tumble page in his honour.So,I am starting by posting my own video on this page.However,there was actually a mistake in the video.You will notice the video says Yuri was the first man on the moon.I correct it:This is not right.Yuri was THE FIRST MAN IN SPACE,BUT NOT IN THE MOON.

Epic fail in here,but I hope you enjoy the rest of my video anyway!!

Happy Watching!!!
