(Sandra Bullock)Chapter 4: Valentina Tereskhova, the Worker who Went into Space Chapter 5: From Aleksey Leonov to the Space Station 330 $aThis book sheds new light on an amazing history, only partially known in the west: Russian cosmonautics and its spectacular record. From Laika, the cosmonaut dog, to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, to Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, to the first spacewalk, the Soviets set many goals that they subsequently achieved. But there are shadows behind these headline moments, moments involving human loss, some of which are known, others only rumored. Questions remain, such as: What was the "flying coffin?" What secrets are still hidden inside the Russian archives, despite two rounds of declassification? Why didn't Marina Popovich "Madame Mig" become a cosmonaut? What problems made it necessary to film Valentina Tereshkova's return? What (scientific) hypotheses exist concerning Gagarin's mysterious disappearance? The author addresses all of these issues, with help from the documents now available. 606 $aAstronautics$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aAstronauts$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aManned space flight$xHistory 615 0$aAstronautics$xHistory. 615 0$aAstronauts$xHistory. 615 0$aManned space flight$xHistory. 700 $aMenzio$b Maria Rosa$0721466 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910590055503321 996 $aThe Secrets of Soviet Cosmonauts$92908830 997 $aUNINA
