Download or read book The First Soviet Cosmonaut Team written by Colin Burgess and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Soviet Cosmonaut Team will relate who these men were and offer far more extensive background stories, in addition to those of the more familiar names of early Soviet space explorers from that group. Many previously-unpublished photographs of these “missing” candidates will also be included for the first time in this book. It will be a detailed, but highly readable and balanced account of the history, training and experiences of the first group of twenty cosmonauts of the USSR. A covert recruitment and selection process was set in motion throughout the Soviet military in August 1959, just prior to the naming of America’s Mercury astronauts. Those selected were ordered to report for training at a special camp outside of Moscow in the spring of 1960. Just a year later, Senior Lieutenant Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Air Force (promoted in flight to the rank of major) was launched aboard a Vostok spacecraft and became the first person ever to achieve space flight and orbit the Earth.

Download or read book Spacefarers written by Michael J. Neufeld and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent 50th anniversaries of the first human spaceflights by the Soviet Union and the United States, and the 30th anniversary of the launching of the first U.S. Space Shuttle mission, have again brought to mind the pioneering accomplishments of the first quarter century of humans in space. Historians, political scientists and others have extensively examined the technical, programmatic and political history of human spaceflight from the 1960s to the 1980s, but work is only beginning on the social and cultural history of the pioneering era. One rapidly developing area of recent scholarship is the examination of the images of spacefarers in the media, government propaganda and popular culture. How was space travel imagined in the visual media on the cusp of human spaceflights? How were astronauts and cosmonauts represented in official and quasi-official media portraits? And how were those images reproduced and transformed by in the imagination of film-makers, movie producers, popular writers, and novelists? Spacefarers addresses these questions with nine contributions from scholars in the field of aerospace history, Russian and American history, and English literature. These essays are preceded by an introduction by the editor, who discusses their place in the historiography of spaceflight and social and cultural history. The book will have potential appeal to a wide variety of scholars in history, literature and the social sciences and will include a number of striking visual images.
Download or read book Lost Cosmonaut written by Daniel Kalder and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-08-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Kalder belongs to a unique group: the anti-tourists. Sworn to uphold the mysterious tenets of The Shymkent Declarations, the anti-tourist seeks out the dark, lost zones of our planet, eschewing comfort, embracing hunger and hallucinations, and always traveling at the wrong time of year. In Lost Cosmonaut, Kalder visits locations that most of us don't even know exist -- Tatarstan, Kalmykia, Mari El, and Udmurtia. He loves these places because no one else does, because everyone else passes them by. A tale of adventure, conversation, boredom, and observation -- occasionally enhanced by an overactive imagination -- Kalder reveals a world of hidden cities, lost rites, mail-order brides, machine guns, mutants, and cold, cold emptiness. In the desert wastelands of Kalmykia, he stumbles upon New Vasyuki, the only city in the world dedicated to chess. In Mari El, home to Europe's last pagan nation, he meets the chief Druid and participates in an ancient rite; while in the bleak industrial badlands of Udmurtia, Kalder searches for Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47, and inadvertently becomes a TV star. An unorthodox mix of extraordinary stories woven together with fascinating history, peculiar places, and even stranger people, Lost Cosmonaut is poetic and profane, hilarious and yet oddly heartwarming, bizarre and even educational. In short, it's the perfect guide to the most alien planet in our cosmos: Earth.

Download or read book Training future astronauts to space climate written by Renata Freccero and published by Edizioni Altravista. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universe is full of stars, and each star has at least one planet, the astrophysicists seek water and life in the cosmos. Long periods spent in the cosmos do not have the tempo of life, they are monotonous. The human brain and sensory systems are adapted to the categories of time and space in which they live normally. The philosophical categories of space and time do not exist in the cosmos, they are unique, because contraria sunt complementa. In Karl Jaspers’ view, the Existing is not in fact located in time and space, simply there is; being: da sein. The temporal planes are intertwined to lose their characteristic of continuity. In the long term, the cosmic climate produces a sense of fatigue, apathy and mood disorders, with manifestations of “dark mood”. The next step is anxiety and depression, dangerous not only for those who suffer from them, but also for the entire crew. Only the willingness to make that key contribution to the objective of scientific research can provide the motivation to endure the many hardships. The dysfunction, whether of people or things, risks compromising the mission. Harmony becomes a key element for success. He or she who exists in the cosmos must establish an equivalence between the energy of his/her mind, determined by the strength of the will, compared to the mass of a physical system that does not belong to him/her, but that is real. It is a rare human ability to know how to control the emotions, to know how to communicate effectively and to remain calm in extreme situations. Awareness for space travellers means having the consciousness that life on Earth is an illusion with regard to the cosmic reality, and intelligence is the ability to adapt. Human life in space stations and the future extraterrestrial human colonization will open up a new era for the anthropology sciences.
