The story of these two men is my Roman Empire.

Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were highly decorated Cosmonauts, both of which made firsts in the history of space flight.

Yuri Gagarin famously became the first man in space on April 12, 1961.

Vladimir Komarov piloted Voshkod 1 on October 12, 1964 on the first space mission to carry multiple crew members. He flew again aboard Soyuz 1 on April 23, 1967, becoming the first Russian man to make two spaceflights.

Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov were close.

The Soyuz 1 was described as being “a piece of shit” and a “devil ship” as issues plagued the spacecraft throughout development and failed testing. Yuri had done everything he could to get the launch postponed, including writing a ten-page memo detailing the 203 structural problems he had discovered during inspection of the Soyuz 1. Any person who had laid eyes on the memo would be fired or demoted.

Komarov knew of these issues, but refused to step down from the missions. In March of 1987 he met with Venyamin Russayev, a then-recently-demoted KGB agent who had been assigned to "mind" Yuri Gagarin.

He met with Russayev and said, "I'm not going to make it back from this flight." Russayev asked, “Why not refuse?” Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura. And he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.

Yuri, nicknamed Yura by friends and family, showed up on the day of the launch “demanding to be put into a space suit,” "demanding this and this and this...", doing anything and everything he could to be the one on that spacecraft instead of Vladimir. Unfortunately, his attempts were be futile.

Soyuz 1 would launch on April 23, 1967 and faced serious issues throughout the flight. The parachutes failed to deploy during reentry and the spacecraft burned up while Vladimir screamed and cried and cursed out those responsible.

Yuri Gagarin was grounded from future space flights and denied permission to pilot military jets. This was devastating for the already deeply depressed man and everyone knew it. Even his favorite hairdresser said that “Yuri couldn't live without flying. It was his whole life. A man can't live without his trade. He can't survive.”

He eventually convinced them to let him fly, but on March 28, 1968, less than a year since Komarov’s accident, he was tragically killed during a routine-training flight aboard a MiG-15. The cause of the accident is unclear, though many speculate that the accident was an assassination on the cosmonaut as he had a falling out with several high-ranking officials following the death of his close friend.

Both Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov’s names are featured on the memorial for fallen US Astronauts and USSR Cosmonauts left on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew.

#I KNOW FOR A FACT I read somewhere that Yuri dug through the crash site for his remains but I can’t remember 😭😭😭 #DID I MENTION HE’S 5’ 2??? #there’s tons of controversy surrounding what’s right and wrong but regardless their story is tragic #and I mean tons of controversy btw #there’s absolutely no way for us to know what’s right and what’s wrong #we’ll never know what actually happened but we all know what should (or should I say shouldn’t) have happened #look at how they look at each other and tell me there’s not *something* there #space race #Cold War #Soyuz 1 #Yuri Gagarin #Vladimir Komarov #cosmonaut #research #information #THIS is my Roman Empire fr #like these two deserved better 😭

"Why is it that cosmonauts always have girls (daughters)?"

"Maybe because girls are cool."

Most of the pioneering cosmonauts were parents of girls, so here are the proud dads (and mom) and their girls! Happy International Women's Day! 👩🏻‍🚀💐💫

Soyuz 1

Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov (Russian: Влади́мир Миха́йлович Комаро́в, IPA: [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr mʲɪˈxajləvʲɪtɕ kəmɐˈrof]; 16 March 1927 – 24 April 1967) was a Soviet test pilot, aerospace engineer, and cosmonaut.He was selected as the solo pilot of Soyuz 1, its first crewed test flight. A parachute failure caused his Soyuz capsule to crash into the ground after re-entry on 24 April 1967, making him the first human to die in a space flight.

A tribute to Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of his death (April 24, 1967). 

He truly deserved so much better. 💔 I hope this tribute will be worthy of his memory.

The Remains Of The Astronaut Vladimir Komarov, A Man Who Fell From Space, 1967

The Remains of Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov, The man who fell from space (1967)

"In his diary, Nikolai Kamanin recorded that the Soyuz 1 capsule crashed into the ground at 30–40 metres per second (98–131 ft/s) and that the remains of Komarov's body were an irregular lump 30 centimetres (12 in) in diameter and 80 centimetres (31 in) long."

I guess his remains probably have a pretty good shelf-life.

October 12th, 1964 - a historic day for the Soviet Union and its space program. The spacecraft Voskhod, meaning 'Sunrise', was launched into Earth orbit, returning on the 13th as the first multi-manned space flight - as well as being the first without spacesuits.

"The crew on board consisted of the commander, pilot, and cosmonaut Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov, the researcher and cosmonaut Konstantin Petrovich Feoktistov, and the physician and cosmonaut Boris Borisovich Yegorov."

Tried entering the names of some cosmonauts (Gagarin, Titov, Tereshkova, Komarov, Belyayev and Leonov) using that one Pokémon generator AI. The results were…interesting.

Also sort of a rough sequel to this.

I had to go to a lot of speech therapy growing up. Every month was a new appointment with hearing tests, psych evaluations, what have you.

The one that still sits with me was when I went to this lady’s house and sat in a bohemian office and listened what sounded like the first 20 minutes of 2001: a space odyssey for 3+ hours. the lady would then leave! and I was in this house with a bunch of cats. there was one fat calico that had a shaved side because she had a biopsy or something. the cat would sit on my lap and immediately fall asleep. obviously now the other cats are full of chagrin, especially a black and gray Himalayan. I don’t remember what the goal of this therapy was- auditory processing and what not- but one time the Himalayan was so sick of that calico taking up prime real estate on the lap of the kid who had to sit and listen to tape degradation for hours on end. that fluffy cat leapt over my shoulder and the two had it out in this office. all of this meanwhile is soundtracked by avant-garde jazz looped over audio of vladimir komarov’s reentry into earth’s atmosphere. at this point the Himalayan won, and it immediately fell asleep on my lap. but the calico decided that my shoulders were a perfect alternative resting place. suffice to say, the music got weirder and weirder each week, and eventually I was sitting in a chair with a pile of cats climbing and falling asleep on me- or around me. my grades didn’t get better and I think it was around that time I was pulled out of school, lol.
