and think you're a normal heads of previously us in iraq kuwait and bosnia. in the world is marking half a century of space travel on april twelfth one thousand and sixty one russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin became the first man to reach out to the stars by being propelled into orbit. for the planet his journey is not without its trials as one of the guardians space trainees. revealed to r.t. . thank you for being with us today you were part of the group of officers who were preparing for the first manned space flight how many of you were in the group can you tell us about. how the first cost was picked for. the decision

to enlist fighter pilots into the first group a trainee cosmonauts was made by sergei carrillo of the soviet union's head aerospace engineer it developed in launch the sputnik and the first manned space flight had friends ministry and a top soviet authorities approved that decision so the air force and the main enforce hospital were assigned to pick that kind of dates for the first manned space flight but it was stuff from the hospital started traveling around regiments mainly in the central soviet union they picked out the profiles of three thousand five hundred fighter pilots four hundred fifty of them were sent to the hospital and it's of that four hundred fifty vehicles hospital selected pilots who became the first regiment of soviet cosmonauts. i watch criteria where the pilots chosen. by people came to the regiment they looked at the pilots professional reports they had to be good pilots they had to be in the party of course and be recommended by

the deputy commander on political affairs and then i would hide it when i walked into the political offices office the first for my arrangements there was a man from the military counterintelligence unit standing by his side he gave me a paper to sign that said everything i was about to learn was national security information that could not be spread i signed it they sent me to see a doctor i saw that the doctor had three medical reports mine gainey comrades he would pilot a latest space flight and borys serota we had a long talk and they also me how i would feel if they recommended me for a medical commission to check if i could for i hired among hundred kilometers i understood straight away what it was all about. how did you feel when you learned you were possibly going to space. when they told me i was going to fly above one hundred kilometers i asked them if i was the brightest satellite it was no such thing as a cosmonaut in those days because it didn't even exist satellites were the only

things to fly to space at the time the first one having been launched in one nine hundred fifty seven because you get scared and you. know i agree straight away it was voluntary guided way we were stationed in camps the central air field we were station was closed for repairs so we were sent to camps after we had our talk they told me i could go home it was three hundred kilometers away and told my wife about it but i only needed to think for a minute at most before i agreed i would have a breath run along to the final group of twenty pilots train together. a group was put together in march nine hundred sixty we met with sergey choral of in september there were eighteen of us by that time two of us were eliminated because their health was not good enough they didn't split us into several groups as there was only one centrifuge to train on and it was in joke of ski the first six pilots were sent there to train we were to be sent now after they were done.

over. and what did your training consist of. we attended lectures on medicine higher mathematics astronomy and so on archy how me about how you first met god in you. i was the first of the cosmonauts to me said i was sent to a military hospital the ward was empty when i arrived two days later he walked in he was stocky and smiled a lot he was wearing hospital clothes he introduced himself i introduced myself that was how we met. but it was this you become friends straight away notion of the good or it's you who are relations with very good even though we were all very worried. i would want to you all must not have your doubts to just share them with each other. yes that was that there were forty five of us in the hospital after all every single day one of us was eliminated from the competition some were even decommissioned it was four of us in the ward myself it darren and you all know of

another pilot who the doctors told he could only ever be allowed to pilot a helicopter some of the pilots decided to leave before they would decommissioned we had our doubts too of course but i remember one time we all got together and said you're a said that to that we should go through the commission to the end it doesn't depend on us but let's give the medics all we can and see what happens. after all this time what is your opinion of. what. i like to my painting of him was and remains very good it was the sort of man that would not let you down in back of the lorry normal life he had a talent for been a zation a good heads he had more experience than us in life he had been through a school a college the aviation club and the academy before it even started serving in the northern battalion one of his positive qualities was that his superiors his friends and his subordinates like him that was important he had

a strong sense of jujitsu he set off in his fight that his goal was for every pilot who came with him to fly to space he did his best to make that happen every pundit from the group of twelve who were not eliminated due to poor health or poor discipline they all got to make this space flight. how did he deal with all the popularity and the people's love after the flight. i think he deals with it just fine he never became stuck up all star struck like even some sportsman do today i never sold out in him in that sense he stated a good level and tried to form his real shitty as a citizen and because middle he loved children he was a man who embraced his work his publicist he and his family he wanted to make a second flight suit we even trained together when i was preparing for my first flight and he was planning to make his second we would be in the same crew. we are still. and what did he tell you about his first flight

a week ago when. he told me how zero gravity felt and said that space could and should be explored that was all he said pretty much. the way. he will say that once you've made your first spaceflight it's like a trunk you want to go back constantly or. you know even today when i meet people from star city or other cosmonauts when i visit launch pads i think i will come back to the launch pad this year old a regrettably i won't be able to fly myself so i'll be sending others i always dream of space when i come back home i was in the lunar program you know and i still sometimes fly to mood in my dreams i very sorry that it will never happen i did it catered many years of my life to this profession starting from nine hundred sixty in quitting in one thousand nine hundred two i left my crew at the same time i left mission control. when up to you mr earth when you were in space me at the

core. of my flights were always so short during my second flight i even asked mission control to prolong my mission it was a person last eighteen days but our landing was postponed due to bad weather in kazakstan i think you'd better ask this question to those who have been on six months or longer missions i was not tired of it by wants to keep working yes sure. how does the earth look from space which great theory. it was beautiful i was especially impressed with the sunrise and sunset during my second flight we actually followed the sun on one of our orbit passes it was like the sun never sets half of it was in the earth's shadow and we could see the other half it was beyond words the earth itself is beautiful to the seas and oceans have the most beautiful color they don't blue in the middle and greenish assured when you look down you see

mountains deserts cities huge rivers everything that there is on earth you can ignore it i think he believe in god yes. i believe in destiny whatever your destiny is it will happen you have to fight for it of course it doesn't just come to you. how do your space life change your life on earth want to get a permit. for the flights have had an effect on my life of course i don't know how far along i would get in my career if i had refused the offer to become a cosmonaut i was a group commander and certified the deputy commander at the time i was going to attend the academy to switch to board bones to craft i was piloting the mc seventeen at the time but nine teams were already in use and the introduction of the meet twenty one had begun it was my dream to pilot those planes i don't know how that would have turned out overall i'm grateful i can say i've made

a huge career but that was never my goal the only unfulfilled dream i had was to go on one more space mission i can't complain about my life the only thing is that my wife died very early we got married when i was still a pilot we started out together and stayed together until one thousand nine hundred seventy. one. doesn't hurt to be a cost when it's wife. never again was what she said after my second flight she got too worried although only three years later they offered me to go on another mission when i came home and told her she never said no. thank you very much for this interview. thank you and i wish you good health and happiness today in the fiftieth anniversary of yuri gagarin's flight i would like to tell the viewers that we will continue exploring space just like when we started a nine hundred sixty one people can go to mars if they want to.
