1963-"It is I, Seagull!"

 Vostok 6 mission: Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman in space. Her call sign on this flight was Chaika (Russian: Чайка, lit. 'Seagull'). After her launch, she radioed down:

"It is I, Seagull! Everything is fine. I see the horizon; it's a sky blue with a dark strip. How beautiful the Earth is ... everything is going well."

OKB-1 (S.P. KOROLEV ROCKET AND SPACE CORPORATION ENERGIA). DESIGNER: S.P. KOROLEV. THE LAST MANNED SPACECRAFT OF THE VOSTOK SERIES

On June 16-19, 1963, Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova (call sign "The Seagull") made her flight into space as the only crew member - the commander of the Vostok-6 spacecraft. The duration of the space flight was 2 days 22 hours 50 minutes. During this time, Vostok-6 circled the Earth 48 times. Especially for Tereshkova's flight, a spacesuit design was developed, adapted for the female body, some elements of the ship were also changed to suit the capabilities of a woman

Donald Duck as cosmonaut as Yuri Gagarin and Della Duck as cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova - Tribute to Space Race and gift for my friend - Ducktales 2017

I wouldn't have even drawn this, if this wasn't intended as a gift for a friend of mine who really likes ducks in space adventures and spacesuits.

I drew this on the occasion of the anniversary of when the first man, Yuri Gagarin, went into space on April 12, 1961, with the Vostok 1 rocket, and since then the journey of man in space begins. And I drew Donald Duck as a redraw from the comic cover of Topolino comics from 2015, drawn by Alessandro Perina, in which Donald Duck is like Yuri Gagarin, but in the then Soviet spacesuit (Vostok 1 spacesuit). Yes, I drew it to be close to Ducktales 2017 style, but in my own style, since I think somehow Ducktales 2017 suits that kind of space action. Yes, behind Donald you can see the rockets and aircraft of the Vostok program, as well as the planet Earth. By the way, the surname Gagarin means wild duck, so it is not surprising that the first man in space was a duck. XD

The next drawing is a redraw of Della Duck as Valentina Tereshkova, who flew in space around planet Earth on June 16, 1963 in the Vostok 6 rocket and became the first woman in space. Yes, I have a bit of a problem to draw Della Duck as a whole in a spacesuit, so I just sketched her, and somehow it fits her role to be like Valentina, and Della always wanted to be an astronaut, otherwise the word astronaut means a star sailor so it does matter that Donald is an astronaut too. Such a brother, such a sister. Behind it you can see the Vostok program rocket as well as the stars and the crescent moon. By the way, both Donald and Della, like Yuri and Valentina, wear the USSR mark in Cyrillic on their space helmets, since they are from the Soviet Union (Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 and was the first man in space, while Valentina Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937 and was the first woman in space). And Della is in Ducktales 2017 style, but in my own way.

I hope you like these drawings and these ideas and and feel free to like and reblog this and please don't anyone copy these same ideas of mine without mentioning me. Thank you! Happy first space flight day!

Also this is my gift for my friend who is a fan of space ducks and I wish him a happy birthday dear @ducksinspaceadventure! I hope you like this!

the first manned shuttle ever to launch into space- the vostok in 1961- had a space for the crew around 6 feet (2.3 m) in diameter. the first manned shuttle to carry three people at once- the voskhod in 1964- was practically the exact same size, and required the crew to forego spacesuits in order for all three of them to fit.

the death engine is... well. a hell of a lot bigger than either of them. we never get a picture of it in its entirety, but from what we see both in photographs as well as the visible space in person, the docking bay alone probably has more space than both of those ships combined. which makes sense, as it is a satellite and not exclusively a flight vessel.

... but the death engine still had a crew of three to man it for however long it was intended to be in immediate use. three people, solaris only being one of them.

as if that wasn't bad enough on its own, the other two assistants who tagged along weren't professionals, but intern astronauts- making it rather obvious why none of them survived as long as solaris herself did. before she discovers who the agent is, she assumes them to be equally as inexperienced right out of the gate (“Okay, lesson one of space internships: You need oxygen to live”).

from these two factors alone, we can assume that solaris would have been pulling over twice her weight around the satellite regardless of whether or not her assistants were alive, and only took on more responsibility after they were killed while on duty. that's already a huge mental strain and time investment in its own right. but that's not even all of it.

astronauts need to exercise for at least two hours if they don't want to suffer muscle or bone atrophy. as a result, they need to eat more calories than they normally would on earth. sodium intake also needs to be reduced (as the human body sheds less of it in space), and vitamin d intake needs to be increased (as it can not be generated from the sun). that means, perhaps rather obviously, that their diet is very important.

unfortunately for solaris, she is stuck eating the grotesque space slop.

not only does the food ration not include the recommended amount of essential vitamins, and include a self admittedly high amount of salt, but it is unclear what it even is supposed to be.

i can only hope that vitamin d happens to be a part of the 'some essential vitamins' included, since- considering there is zero orange juice located in the orange drink- there is probably none of it to be found in there.

this isn't even mentioning the importance of sleep on a spacecraft, partnered with how difficult it is to acquire in altered gravity. and partnering that up with solaris' poor diet, and the mountain of tasks she probably has to go through just to keep everything operational?

i clown on her a lot for 'doing nothing' while the agent was meddling with her things, but this entire time she's been overworked, underfed, and presumably doing all of that on a heavily fragmented sleep schedule.

no wonder she hasn't gotten around to clearing the radiation from the docking bay. no wonder she stayed in her chair the entire time. i would have gotten the call from zor and gone straight back to fucking bed!!!

#ieytd #commander solaris #long post #but it's important. to ME. #GET HER TO BEEEED. for the love of GOD. #no wonder she's snippy on the phone. she's got a headache 🙁 and a stummyache 😟 #she's stuck on the death engine with two corpses or whatever and the worst fucking slop she's ever tasted #i went to a space museum and learned all about astronauts struggling to sleep #the artificial light of their shuttle can wake them up. or the noise. or the fact that you float right off of your bed. #undersleeping can SEVERELY compromise a mission when you aren't thinking clearly... and um. well. #i sure would call the death engine compromised

Valentina Tereshkova & Vostok 6 From landing to the arrival of soldiers, 2.5 hours passed, There was freedom there. They went into the cabin, and ate all the tubes of space food, and drank the water that had been in space. The children even tore off the charred skin of the ship.

Interesting facts about the Earth

Earth is a unique planet in the Solar System, with a rich diversity of life and complex ecosystems. It is our home and the subject of much research. Here are some interesting facts about Earth that highlight its uniqueness and beauty:

1. Earth is the only planet we know of on which life exists. The unique combination of atmosphere, heat from the sun, and the presence of liquid water creates simply ideal conditions for life to successfully develop and sustain itself.

2. Water covers most of the surface

About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Most of this water is salty water found in the world's oceans, which combine the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Arctic oceans.

3- The atmosphere is made up of several layers

Earth's atmosphere is divided into several layers, each of which plays a different role in protecting the planet and sustaining life. These include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.

4. Earth is not a perfect ball

Because of its rotation on its axis, the Earth is shaped like a flattened spheroid - it is slightly flattened at the poles and convex at the equator. Earth's equatorial radius is larger than its pole radius.

5. Hottest place

The hottest place on our planet recorded by satellites is Death Valley in California, USA. Temperatures there can exceed 56 degrees Celsius in the shade.

6. The coldest place

Antarctica is the coldest place on our planet. The Russian research station Vostok recorded a temperature of -89.2 degrees Celsius.

7. Largest living organism

The largest known living organism on Earth is the mushroom Armillaria ostis, distributed in Malheur National Park in Oregon, USA. Its underground mycelium network covers more than 8.9 kilometres.

8. Plate tectonics

Earth is the only known planet with active plate tectonics, which means that its surface is constantly changing due to the movement of tectonic plates. This phenomenon leads to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the formation of mountain ranges and oceanic troughs.

9. A unique natural phenomenon is the Northern Lights

Northern and Southern Lights (auroras) are colourful light shows in the sky caused by the interaction of the solar wind itself with the magnetic field of our planet. They are mainly observed in the polar regions and are a mesmerising sight.

10. The deepest point of the world's oceans

The Mariana Trench is the deepest known point on Earth. It is approximately 11 kilometres (36,070 feet) deep. This part of the Pacific Ocean is so deep that it could hold Mount Everest.

11. Tremendous biodiversity

There are many varieties of living organisms on Earth, including plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. To date, more than 8.7 million species have been described, but scientists estimate that there may be between 10 and 100 million species on the planet, many of which have yet to be discovered.

12. Earth without the Moon

The Moon has a significant influence on the Earth, including regulating its tilt and, as a result, its climate. Without the Moon, Earth could experience much more drastic changes in climate, making life on Earth much less stable.

13. Earth's auroras are visible from space.

The auroras are not only beautiful to observe from the Earth's surface, but they are also an impressive sight for astronauts observing them from space. These luminous phenomena are among the many unique features of our planet that can be seen from space.

Conclusion

The Earth continues to amaze and inspire us with its diversity and beauty. From its deep oceans to towering mountains, from frozen polar glaciers to lush tropical forests, every corner of our planet is filled with life and mysteries waiting to be discovered. Scientists and explorers continue to study the Earth to better understand its past, present and future, as well as humanity's role in preserving it for future generations.

Leaving Earth for this one, Russia's Valentina Tereshkova is known for being the first and youngest woman in space. She went on a solo mission on the Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963, and orbited the Earth 48 times. She was 26.

60 Years Ago: John Glenn, the First American to Orbit the Earth aboard Friendship 7

On Feb. 20, 1962, astronaut John H. Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth during the three-orbit Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, aboard the spacecraft he named Friendship 7.

The Soviets had leaped ahead the year before by placing the first man, Yuri A. Gagarin, in space on April 12, 1961, on a one-orbit flight around the Earth aboard his Vostok 1 spaceship. The Soviets followed that up on August 6 by keeping a cosmonaut in space for a full day with Gherman Titov in Vostok 2.

A few hours ago an alleged explosion blew up the Nova Kakhova dam in Ukraine.

It was either that or structural damage from previous strikes.

Geoff Brumfiel @gbrumfiel - 6:31 UTC · Jun 6, 2023 The dam was already under enormous strain and damaged. Then things got worse. On 2 June, it looks like a road over the dam failed. That could be indicative of a larger structural failure. ...

In consequence the huge reservoir behind the dam is now flooding lower level land south of Kherson (Xepcoh). The pictures show the before and after of potential flooding due to the breach:

Previously the Russian army had pulled back its troops from the northern part of Kherson oblast because a dam breach would endanger their supply route.

We do not know yet how much of the dam has been damaged. How much water will be flowing out of it depends on the part of the wall that is still standing below the current water level.

Of note is that the Ukraine had previously filled the upstream dams on the Dnieper to the brim to increase the potential damage. Those waters were released in early May. Notice the date of the following tweet.

ZOKA @200_zoka - 14:12 UTC · May 4, 2023 Water level in Kakhovka reservoir in Zaporozhye region risen by 17 m and almost reached critical level. Under threat of destruction of dam in Kamenka Dneprovskaya, dozens of villages may be flooded. Kyiv opened the floodgates in Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye. Embedded video

The Ukrainian propagandists are claiming that the Russian blew up the dam. That is however unlikely.

On October 21 2022 Vasily Nebenzya, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, sent a letter to the UN Secretary General about the plans of the Kiev regime to destroy the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.

In a report about last years Kherson counteroffensive the Washington Post reported of Ukrainian plans and attempts to blow up the dam:

[Maj. Gen. Andriy] Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.

Destroying its own infrastructure is nothing new for Ukrainian servicemen. In April 2022 the New York Times already noted this:

What happened in Demydiv was not an outlier. Since the war’s early days, Ukraine has been swift and effective in wreaking havoc on its own territory, often by destroying infrastructure, as a way to foil a Russian army with superior numbers and weaponry. Demydiv was flooded when troops opened a nearby dam and sent water surging into the countryside. Elsewhere in Ukraine, the military has, without hesitation, blown up bridges, bombed roads and disabled rail lines and airports. The goal has been to slow Russian advances, channel enemy troops into traps and force tank columns onto less favorable terrain.

Quoting the above Washington Post piece Andrew Korybko points to a possible motive for today's demolishing of the dam:

[Kovalchuk's] remark about how “the step remained a last resort” is pertinent to recall at present considering that the first phase of Kiev’s NATO-backed counteroffensive completely failed on Monday according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Just like Ukraine launched its proxy invasion of Russia in late May to distract from its loss in the Battle of Artyomovsk, so too might does it seem to have gone through with Kovalchuk’s planned war crime to distract from this most recent embarrassment as well.

The most recent embarrassment was the failure of yesterday's attack near Novodarovka and Levadnoye. As the Russian Ministry of Defense noted in a special statement:

As a result of active and self-sacrificing actions of the Vostok Group of Forces, which displayed courage and heroism, the enemy has been stopped, and the set tasks haven’t been achieved. The AFU formations and military units suffered significant losses. Total AFU losses in South Donetsk direction were over 1,500 Ukrainian servicemen, 28 tanks, including FRG-manufactured 8 Leopard tanks, three French-manufactured AMX-10 wheeled tanks, and 109 armoured fighting vehicles.

(I have seen pictures of the destroyed AMX-10 reconnaissance tanks but not yet of any destroyed Leopard.)

Interestingly the 'western' media, pressed into compliance by the Ukrainian government, were thanked for their pro-Ukrainian reporting on the issue around the time the dam was breached:

Michael Tracey @mtracey - 9:42 UTC · Jun 6, 2023 Top advisor of Zelensky thanks journalists in advance today for helping the Ukraine government win the "diplomatic and informational battle" around the bombing of the Nova Kakhovka dam. Helpful reminder of the state imperatives these journalists are expected to abide by Image

The attached image of the top advisor's Telegram post has a 3:03 timestamp.

The destruction of the dam is certainly not to Russia's favor. As the 'western' aligned Moscow Times noted six months ago (link corrected):

In a catastrophic scenario, destroying the dam could send a highly destructive flood wave down the Dnipro River, causing severe flooding in large areas of southern Ukraine. Backswell would also likely flood the Inhulets River, a tributary of the Dnipro. However, terrain levels mean the flooding would likely be worse on the Russian-held left bank of the Dnipro, making a detonation of explosives on the dam an unlikely move for Moscow. "[Destroying the dam] would mean Russia essentially blowing its own foot off,” military analyst Michael Kofman said on the War on the Rocks podcast last month. “[It] would flood the Russian-controlled part of Kherson [region]… much more than the western part that Ukrainians are likely to liberate." And the secondary effects of blowing the dam could be just as severe for Russia. Lowering the river level behind the dam threatens both water supplies to Moscow-annexed Crimea and risks cutting off access to cooling water for the Russian-controlled nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.

Water from the dam was also used to irrigate the southern Kherson oblast. The lack of water will disable the power generation at the dam which supplied the south.

The flood is likely to dissipate in a week or two but that does not change the major damages to the parts that Russia claims as its own.

The water will then have destroyed Russian mine fields on the left bank (seen from the spring) of the river. This will open routes for Ukrainian troops to cross the river and to attack into the southern Kherson oblast towards Crimea. There have previously reports that the Ukraine received bridging and ferry equipment for exactly this purpose.
