Khrushchev's reign in the Soviet Union is remembered not only dull and similar houses, corn and thaw. It was during Nikita started the space arms race between the two superpowers of the time: the Soviet Union and the United States. Cosmonauts are known in every corner of the civilized world. They were the first in space, once inaccessible to people. The struggle for space has become an integral part of the cultural, ideological and technological competition between countries, thus the study of the cosmos was not only a military and scientific nature, but also social ones.

cosmonautThe First person in space and in Earth orbit has become world famous today, Yuri Gagarin. Cosmonauts of the USSR was similar to the glorious heroes of the Greek epics. They were brave, honest and courageous. Thereto was attracted a lot of attention not only domestically, but also abroad. Their sayings were passed from mouth to mouth and found a large reflection in culture. For example, after the first flight into space Yuri Gagarin visited more than thirty countries and traveled extensively within the USSR. No wonder, because his face and name became the banner and symbol of the Soviet Union as the first space superpower, has committed a manned flight into space. March 25, 1968, Soviet cosmonaut died in a plane crash during a training sessions. The day of the tragic death of Colonel Gagarin became a national mourning.

the first cosmonautsThe First cosmonauts were not only men. 16 Jun 1963, went into space and the first woman - Valentina Tereshkova - the ship of the “Vostok-6”. The Soviet Union wanted to launch two women's group of cosmonauts, but in the end the choice fell only on one Tereshkova. The selection of the first woman in space was carried out as tough as men. They had to spend ten days in the isolation chamber, suffer incredible physical stress and high temperature, as well as pass the required parachute training. It is worth noting that the choice on Valentina Tereshkova died and because of her class origin, she was from a simple working family, while the other contenders were from white-collar families.

Modern cosmonautics in Russia is in a period of stagnation as the pace of the us space programs. Cosmonauts Soviet era socialism is much better known than their Russian counterparts. This is due to reduction of funds invested in space exploration in our country. In 2009 the development of Astronautics in Russia was spent just $ 2.8 billion, while the US has invested in this area of 48.8 billion.

Famous scientists in the field of space, such as Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Hermann Oberth, and Robert Goddard - also space heroes. Cosmonauts and astronauts of the USA are almost pop idols, while the great scientists remain forgotten. But it is Konstantin Tsiolkovsky first proposed the use of rockets for space flight, Hermann Oberth described the principles of such flight.heroes of the Soviet cosmonauts
