Genna-ivanovich - No This Is Not Padalka

vince....you are angelic as fuck :((

also young vince is a thing of Beauty

I think this is the highest-quality version of this photo I’ve seen. Found here, color correction done by me. Really stunning quality—the freckle’s on Ed’s hands and his red hair, Rog’s cowlick, Gus’ upside-down watch (as usual), the freckle on his cheek, and wow, he was going to be completely gray very soon, wasn’t he? Our beautiful boys.

“I think the public has accepted the possibility that there is a risk. We in the program accept this possibility also… It’s going to be exciting, this conquest of space, and full of a lot of wonderful things, things we haven’t even dreamed about yet.” Ed White

“If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we’re in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen.” Gus Grissom

“I don’t like to say anything’s scary about it. There’s a lot of unknowns, of course, and a lot of problems that could develop, or might develop, and they’ll have to be solved, and that’s what we’re there for. This is our business, to find out if this thing will work for us… I definitely think you’re apprehensive and you’re considering what’s involved there, you’re thinking about it. But you know how to handle it and take care of it and do the job.” Roger Chaffee

🇱🇻 Happy Proclamation Day!

Maaaan i already watched both of those lit films and yes, i kinda agree with anon...lol😂 but both still, looks interesting! 🌟

I hope I don’t get kicked out of the Space Fandom for saying this (hence why it’s on anon), but…I thought The Spacewalker/Время Первых was…a LOT better than Gagarin: First In Space. There I said it.

I hope I don’t get kicked out of space Tumblr for saying this, but I... haven’t seen either of these. I tried to watch Gagarin: First In Space but I got interrupted by something and just never went back to it. Oops. :(

Soviet Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev stuck in space during the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991

Unable to return home, he ended up having to stay in space until further notice.

The cosmonaut eventually returned back to earth on March 25, 1992, after 10 months in orbit - to a nation that was very different to what it was when he had left. The Soviet Union had fractured into 15 nations, presidents had changed, and even his hometown of Leningrad had become St. Petersburg.

Interestingly, at the time, Krikalev was supposed to serve in the military reserves, and was almost issued a warrant for desertion – before the army realised that their reserve soldier was not even on the planet.

His escapades on MIR (1991) are Krika-tastic!
