we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from. the future covered. for the full story we've got it from. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. they're watching our t.v. time for look at the main headlines now first of every ad it flies into the city of smolensk remember the victims of a plane crash which killed poland's president turned out many of the countries in the year ago russia's leader is set to meet his holy scowled at a special commemoration service of. the libyan leader a priest to a cease fire on the proposed by the african union for talks in tripoli deal is

aimed at starting a dialogue between colonel gadhafi and the rebels the opposition say they will only agree to peace if gadhafi and his finally surrendered. and grants a slammed for its discrimination policies towards muslims as in the burka comes into effect is being portrayed as a path towards integration could instead having the opposite effect. fifty years ago the guardian became the first man to shoot for the stars next week take a look at the remarkable flights that catapulted mankind into space. march twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty eight. drone of aircraft in the skies over moscow region. rescuers look for a training jet did it disappeared from radar screens. as soon as they spotted the crash site it was clear nobody could have survived. the

aircraft was piloted by flight instructor blood unicity ogun enjoyed you've got it defers to ever man in space. seven years prior twenty people twelve thousand nine hundred sixty one rescue helicopters flew over the plane around the city of sirte on top of one thousand kilometers from moscow they were looking for this right where you get got him and successfully landed after his first space mission. that trip took an average soviet pilot to international fame. the flight into place seven years later cut short the life of the world's first cosmonaut what happened in those few seconds after contact with got in was lost what caused this disaster for forty years later no theories conclusive an important question still remain.

on the morning of april twelfth one nine hundred sixty one get a good get and woke up at half past five in the morning is breakfast space food from tubes even joked about it saying it was the only thing for a man in orbit meanwhile the us stock rocket was sitting on the launch pad ready to catapult him into outer space. profession if they're not lost track of that night has it gradually blended with the. normally i would have woken up in the morning and headed for the launch of such a small thing for you. but that night i didn't sleep on your notions needless to say with any rate many myself included were far more agitated that year a good got a shim usage good enough for final medical checkups good got and was helped into a space suit a bus transported him in his back up to the rocket this known footage shows good

god in chairman of the state commission road news and me walking from the bus towards the spacecraft's chief designer sygate coat of color and other members of the commission seated around a table carlos got in and wishes him a good journey i take got him by the hand and take him to a ladder leading to the lift that's now about fifteen steps to separate him from the lift. on march twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty eight the last morning of good god in his life mishaps plagued him from the very start after boarding the bus taking him to the airfield and remembered he'd left his pass at home he decided to return to pick up the document although we knew full well everyone in the air force regiment recognised their life many pilots he was superstitious and the first cause may not certainly considered this a bad omen. there were also other troubles in store for good god and would have to fly tandem with flight instructor city ogun even though he was authorized to pilot

aircraft on his own. we were flying in. queen cloud he did a very good job piloting the aircraft and showed a good command of the radio equipment. also stayed well within the flight so very together we did a very good job and. he was given x. little marks and allowed to pilot airplanes on a system. that a good gotten was to fly three times he was slated for two solo flights after the outing with instructor studio he injured got into seats in the cockpit of a mc training jet several minutes passed before they were allowed to take off. they reached will be called the point of turnaround in accordance with the flight pilot's must treat start line before going into the flight so after about they go through an air corridor and enter the zone and only then do they begin to ascend.

the fruit twelve thousand nine hundred sixty one just a few minutes past nine in the morning you got in is already in the cabin of the bus stop rocket final preparations and checks are being made all that remains is to shut the hatch. it is a nerve racking operation for associations of hot it's an unpleasant moment because of the consequences if the hatches locked as it should be the cabin is him medically sealed and the flight is normal and if not the cosmonauts life might be in danger and pretty happy. with the hash lock down and engineers ready to leave the launch site the chief designer called from mission control he said sensors and indicated the cabin was not reliably sealed the hatch had to be checked and mediately. how we felt isn't hard to imagine. but the technicians knew their job well. they unscrewed the knots and

removed the hatch in atonement snow. look it was with the alliance paid to the connection with signals whether or not the hatch is properly sealed nuclear when everything there was a. formal position on march twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred eighty eight got in straining jed takes off from the runway to color scheme military airfield and heads eastward towards the flood zone the training exercises to last fifteen to twenty minutes the plane includes a barrel rolls hope turns and vertical loops but only four minutes later she colored skis flight controllers here's a good gotten report heading for base. during the third turn i heard aaron's voice. was going he was so quiet. right after i reported to the commanding officer that i had heard the voice of number six two five. the flight commander was not alarmed by the early message

or found nothing strange or god fearing god and not the instructor said yogen chuckling over the air would. be his last words that reach the flight command. april twelfth one thousand nine hundred sixty one nine o seven am defers to invest kid takes off from the launch pad. got in radios back a phrase that within a few hours would be known around the world as his signature line. the first flight lasting one hundred eighty minutes to space craft begin to descend after orbiting the earth that was one of the most complicated phases of the mission because or not was to object from the descent module for several kilometers above ground. for the special features was the seat.

of the mechanism was powerful enough to eject. wearing a space suit. now clearly with you as a certain altitude the entry which was jettisoned because that made it possible for the cosmonauts to eject from the spacecraft and. thirty men that these time there was no forest here there were only three things in this field they have since grown into tall trees on the morning of april twelfth one thousand nine hundred eighty one conover was a six year old girl while playing potatoes with her grandmother they noticed two spots in the sky they grew larger and larger until she saw an odd looking creature wearing bright orange overalls. and while my grandma they can't tough questions where he was from or still remember he said he was from a ship where the positive there was no want anywhere near the place but then he

said i'm from a spaceship. her grandmother with the first humans to see got in after his return from outer space half an hour later a search party found a landing site in the south of region only a handful of people knew who got him when he woke up on the morning of april twelfth when he went to bed the same day he had acquired global fame. garron an eye in the flying club this picture shows us near a yacht eighteen airplane only a short distance separates the place where the first cosmonauts flight began and the place where he finally touched down both are in the south of region. because america garlin september ninth if you for both of us were going through a course of training at the club. several others are there graduated from a school training young people for jobs in industry. thank you and they were just as great fans of aviation as myself who did it we kept together at the globe.

hidden sharing classroom desks and sitting examinations together. it just so happens that we had the same instructor. around noon on march twenty seventh one thousand sixty eight the flight controller of the airfield was desperately trying to contact fighter jet trainer number sixty five got in the pilot and reported ten minutes before inquiry the aircraft should have appeared over the runway two minutes after the radio exchange time passed got an insidious didn't respond to calls to contact ground control it became clear half an hour later did the fighter had been involved in an accident. the air force regiments second in command were told me to report to the general. he told me that something had happened to guarantee. rescue teams were dispatched to locate the crash site around three pm one of the crews noticed

a deep charring hole in the ground amidst the birch trees it was later established that it was five meters deep the disaster meant the two men had no chance for survival the question immediately coming to mind was why such skilled pilots had been unable to eject from their cockpit. because of that everybody wants to know why they didn't egypt anybody in my day don't understand a pilot psychology something goes wrong with the serial plan the pilot tries to get things right rather than each. simple is a former test pilot and he was a member of the commission looking into what caused the guidance death according to one of the initial geary's bad weather could have been responsible for the crash that you do trouble was that they were flying between clubs when an aircraft isn't thick clouds and also difficult to put out of a spin matters become even worse considering that the pilot mike me and it's taken

such conditions. no other air crash investigation in soviet history and receive such attention even the tiniest plane fragments were collected from the site but investigators could glean only a small amount of information from the wreckage besides in the one nine hundred sixty s. an aircraft were not equipped with flight recorders the lack of data he rise to a multitude of theories explaining what had caused the tragedy. culture is that so much different if it usually is an issue apparently finding the market opening the door to tear the al qaeda franchise has been largely absent from the arab awakening following that up in a hot. humid. space is the backbone of our national security there is no substitute and there is no alternative to

military dominance in space. bombs on target little time element. that's will balance the natural leader able to deliver through space ship land and she can make it better to. be framed down the film has to count. down and we must. be. several hundred million dollars of investment in the peaceful uses of body space. and this incredible investment from the united states and from the european union canada other countries like this all of this is completely in jeopardy if we start putting weapons in outer space.

hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the t.v. . this is moscow radio station soviet soviet union aren't here. on april twelfth one thousand nine hundred eighty one people across the soviet union were glued to their radios they heard a stunning message for the first time ever a man had broken out of earth's gravitational pull and gone to outer space. the first man to do so was the soviet union's very own judy got it. correctly and ray and some of my friends were in college getting ready for an exam

in higher mathematics. but a mere grade got dark and got a little sudden a fellow student burst into the classroom. and says someone by the name of karen had been launched into space on a roll. we asked him what the patronymic over this pilot. save it she said yes now we knew that he was yuri gagarin back. there was a red carpet rolled out on the airfield of a moscow airport on april fourteenth nine hundred sixty one in serum o'neill steps major got in march toward soviet leader nikita khrushchev without noticing that issue aces had come undone still he made his official report. directly. comrade first secretary of the communist policy of the soviet union it is my pleasure trip though to see you at the world's first space flight to build it will start spaceship ended on the twelfth of april one thousand nine hundred sixty one

year. bishop cisterns and equipments have been working like clockwork without fail on an excellent healthy and ready to fulfill any new assignments by our county and government. major garrett. in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight who's a good god and death spread around the country almost as fast as news of his spaceflight seven years prior and that was despite the fact that the announcement had been long delayed and was couched in very terse phrasing. the commission to investigate the cause of the tragedy was already in full swing. we were provided with reports in by panels of scientists who had established a flight's exact trajectory we used to reports to pass judgment on whether the two men had done the right thing during that flight at the. lack of information was the

main problem facing the commission apart from god and reports from the flight zone there were only readings from onboard instruments the investigators were not sure that they were reliable. in the event of a serious accident the eighty creators of on board instruments weave an imprint on the remaining quarter of the ied explain it as a rule it's possible to look a good position of the pointer at the time of the fresh. trigger got and smile was a vivid soviet symbol without precedent a symbol that had great appeal across the world newspapers around the globe featured front page pictures of good got in for several days after his first flight the world's first kuzma not was no longer an ordinary man to become a national icon. after his first spaceflight got him begin to travel widely around the soviet union and abroad each time is visited tracked and

thousands of people this is how he was welcomed in japan. this is how it was visit to britain got underway. the russian photographer by the scope and remembers very well how his first famous photograph came to pass he'd been assigned to cover the soviet visit of italian film star gina lollobrigida got in was among the guests. as soon as i merged from onto the table and i shared it with horror and it's the thought that i would be unable to take any pictures at all for the i saw that their crew was occupied by a venerable reporters where there was no place for a voice like me anyway so when i talk right beside him he showed nouri action not even the slightest just sure where you just went on speaking go to the us when he finished speaking and i finished taking pictures of go he turned to me and said so

every been able to take any pictures which there's nothing special about this photograph except that it gar instance side by side with the liberal gita that they still make reprints of it. oleksandr causative sees the crash site from an altitude of four hundred meters for the first time the standing at the site where the world's first cosmonaut die is hardly visible. it's been established to the weather was bad during the flight there were two layers of clouds. i like some of the father is a well known designer of aircraft engines he says it's the aircraft's motor that cause that is esther. this situation unfolded as follows. through when the pilots found themselves in the lower level of clouds and the convention altitude of one thousand five hundred meters the engine fails

a little they tried to keep it going by forcing it to work at maximum capacity or both brought it to an abrupt halt in flight. be fearing that the engine was responsible for the crashes based on beings obtained from onboard instruments the velocity gauge recorded a high speed on impact with the ground this means that the pilots made no attempt to pull the aircraft out of the spin otherwise they would have cut down on the thrust according to timothy cause that if we've got an insidious and became aware of the slowdown they tried to restart the engine. come with a new can under normal conditions but in this engine can be restarted in front of. us or aggressively. this situation during the good god rings last flight that it was such that the pilot was short on else achieved on time or. they couldn't react because they had no time for that. in the mid one nine hundred sixty s.

good got any indicator of his desire to get back in the cockpit piloting turbojets was too much of a risk because such airplanes had not been properly tested these were new models the country's leadership didn't like the idea of putting the life of the first cars not in jeopardy for a long time good god was denied a chance to pilot planes instead he was offered executive jobs he was appointed to the post of deputy head of causing not training center. still he attended classes at an air force academy and wrote a book. war i first met him at her publishing have is frankly i had not expected her lieutenants recently promoted to the rank of major to be a great fan of books. the. gun came to see valentino's support the publishing house a few days before his final flight he brought the latest version of his book to be published just a few months later. with this is the book. in as he tells about how he

feels when he gets into this craft alone or together with others and this three commission investigating the cause of god in his death did not come to a definitive conclusion its report said briefly that some unclear circumstances and put the aircraft into a tailspin the pilots couldn't pull it out of the spin because their grafs altitude was too low and they'd run out of time. all the materials relating to the investigation were kept under lock and key even commission experts were unaware of the results of the commission's work but some of them suggested their own theories. would be up and close not a version is that they can do weather balloon just enough some six hundred kilometers an hour of it of just would that of that going to feel like the impasse equivalent must have been a list three times that if the data from. each other left their mouth

i concealed the cabin and sent the aircraft interested in every unit through thought of them. younes version is based on speculation that the fighters cockpit had already come open before it hit the ground in other words the pilots were not in control of their plane after losing consciousness when it hit a weather balloon. vallejo sicko fiza flight instructor he was up in the air on the fateful morning of march twenty seventh he says faulty on board instruments may have caused the tragedy. and i don't wish to draw parallels with a lower disasters i knew they felt. into a spin after finishing the exercise about a tumble in a steel door and with a tilt of sixty degrees. and there were no clouds when they started their report. it was soon as they entered the clouds if they lost their bearing exactly. fifteen

years after got instead professor ability to coast am cause i'm not like c.e.o. enough put forward yet another theory for the disaster according to them the fighter entered the turbulence left behind by a supersonic aircraft that had been in the area shortly before the crash turbulence put got into jet into a spin the pilots were unable to pull their aircraft out they needed two hundred three hundred more meters two or three more seconds. all pilots agree that in a craft can fall into a spin when it enters turbulence or puff through a special tests have proven that there is no spin in such situations that it's that you have been interviewing smitty times during tests when he answered turbulence your aircraft escape this time but you immediately regained control of that it's so crowded out.

all the remains of could get in circle after is kept in some twenty sealed barrels this standing orders to keep to several tons of twisted steel that used to be a training fighter jet for ever though a state commission has not conclusively established the cause of the got instead. chances are these will someday be open so that people can once again search for answers behind it get to defer samantha cross the space frontier. descendants a flying club get in springboard for his rise to fame has been renamed after the first cause i'm not young people who dream about flying high come here today as they used to in the mid one nine hundred fifty fps. like the first cosmonaut future pilot shelled off we go as the training aircraft beads around.

the. ship would be soon which brightened if you knew about sound from finest impressions of. these fund stunts on t.v. dot com.
