Space Exploration.
For thousands of years man dreamed of flying to the
stars. At the beginning of the century the great Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky
predicted that "mankind will not remain on Earth forever". Half a
century later his words came true, the dream became a reality.
It happened on October 4, 1957, when the 1st
artificial satellite, the sputnik, was launched. The Russians were the 1st in
the world to fly into outer space.
Then the most remarkable event in the history of
cosmonautics took place.
On April 12, 1961 the spaceship "Vostok",
piloted by Yuri Gagarin went up. He orbited the Earth only once, staying in
space for 108 minutes. Mankind will always remember him.
A new era of man's exploration of outer space began.
Many space rockets went up by our cosmonauts. Among them were Titov, Nikolaev,
Leonov, Tereshkova, Savitskaya and others.
Today Russia wants the exploration of space to be
based on broad international cooperation. Many international crews went up in
space. This is the best example of the possibility of peaceful cooperation.
