The Pioneers were born in Russia. Russia was a piece of Soviet Union, the great creator country for nuclear which was popular with the gloomy history when World war I and II happened. However, not only the great nuclear creators but also the first man and women went to space were from here.

The great first man before American Cosmonouts Neil  Amstrong and William Collins who could feel staying in space without any gravity is Yuri Alexeyeviich Gagarin. Gagarin’s statue is standing up in Yuri Gagarin Square Moscow for commemorating his honour.  He  was the first man who successfully did the cosmo scientists project.  The boy’s name, Gagarin was born from the farmer family on March 9, 1934 in the village Klushino, 200 kilometers west from Moscow.  decided to attend as technician student in technical high school Saratov then left in 1951.

Gagarin accomplised his study in 1955 very well until he decided to be experiental pilot to join to Soviet Air Force and got the duty as Pilot in Zapolyarye.

Yuri Gagarin is the Right one

Hearing scientists project to roll the earth satellite out, “Sputnik” in the north Soviet Union.. In the spring, Gagarin proposed the motion to be accepted in the Candidate list for the first space pilots Konstantine Tsiolkovsky who had ever stated that his dream to take human off  by Jet plane technology through the statosfer, could not become true. 1960 from the great 20 pilots, 6 of them were selected as the the main candidates including Yuri Gagarin then they were sent to Kosmodrom Baikonur .  The 27 year-old man who had ever been pesimist because had no good pilot appearances , just 1,57 meters and be the smallest candidate at that time becoming the main cosmonaut and his partner Herman Titov as the backup.

Then by carrying Gagarin, the Spaceship Vostok I Capsule took off on April 12, 1961, at 09.07 PM. Moscow time from Kosmodrom Boikonur. Vostoc I flight  by the speed 8 km/h in 30 kilometers altitude during 108 minutes. Gagarin, the first man who knew by his eyes that the earth is round and surrounding  by the water, then the real of space scenery . The first words after seeing the blue earth “I SEE THE EARTH. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!” by Russian . At 7000 meters above the surface of earth, the temperature is approximately  -30 degrees Celsius and Gagarin was wearing a space-suit, and did not suffer from the cold.

After the Mission was overall success and Gagarin’s flight became the headline news over the world he was awarded the Hero title from the Soviet Union. The next astronaut who followed the Gagarin’s step to orbit the earth was from America, John Glenn. Gagarin died on March 27, 1968 in his 34 years old.

Valentina Tereshkova is the first woman who became cosmonaut who was born March 6, 1937  in Yaroslavl Oblast, Rusia. She was selected from 400 great women candidates and 5 finalist Vostoc VI pilots in June 16, 1963.
