world is marking hoffer century of space travel on april twelfth one hundred sixty one russian cosmonaut yuri gagarin ok the first one to reach out to the stars talking proposed into a bit. of the plane this journey is not without its trials as one of the guardians for those space trainees to reveal to us. if the reference that's the. poem is said about cor thank you for being with us today because you were part of the group of software sers who are preparing for the first manned space flight how many of you where and equip can tell us about how the

first cost not was picked. for. the decision to enlist fighter pilots into the first group of trainee cosmonauts was made by said a career of the soviet union's head aerospace engineer who developed and launch the sputnik and the first manned space flight defense ministry and a top soviet authorities approved that decision so the air force and the main air force hospital are assigned to pick the candidates for the first manned space flight and it will start 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 some of that four hundred fifty get falls hospital selected twenty pilots who became the first regiment of sortied cosmonauts. which criteria were the pilots chosen. but. when people came to the regiment they looked at the pilot's 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 then i would

hide it when i walked into the political offices office the first for my regiments there was a man from the military counterintelligence unit standing by his side and gave me a paper to sign that said everything i was about to learn was national security information could not be spread i signed it they sent me to see a doctor i saw that the doctor had three medical reports nine you have guinea comrades he would pilot a later space flight and boris 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 fly higher than one hundred kilometers i understand straightaway 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 it above one hundred kilometers i asked them if i was to write a satellite there is no such thing as a cosmonaut in those days because it didn't even exist satellites were the only

things to fly into space at the time the first one having been launched in one nine hundred fifty seven was you get scared and you. know i agree straight away it was voluntary by the way we were stationed in camps essentially airfield where 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 so was my wife about it but i only needed to think for a minute at most before i agreed. i would have a breath right how long did the final group of twenty pilots train together. the group was put together emotional nine hundred sixty we met with sergei corona 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 or ski the first six pilots were sent there to train we were to be sent there after they were done.

over. and what did your training consist of around. the age that we attended lectures on medicine high mathematics astronomy and so on a kid how many about how you first matt got in. 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 stalking and smiles a lot he was wearing hospital clothes he introduced himself i introduced myself that was how we met but he become friends straight away. our relations were very good even though we were all very worried i would we all must have had your doubts stages 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 the before of us in the ward myself

guarin and you'll know of another pilot whom the doctors told he could only ever be allowed to pilot a helicopter some of the pilots decided to leave before they were decommissioned we had our doubts too of course but i remember one time we all got together and said you're is it that two 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 that and would concur. i like him might you know if it was and remains very good he was the sort of man that would not let you down in battle or in normal life he had a talent for organization 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 liked him that was important he had

a strong sense of jujitsu he set off to his fight that his goal was for every pilot who came with him to fly into space he did his best to make that happen every pundit from the group of twelve who were not eliminated you to pull health will pull it is a plane they all got to make this space flight. how did he deal with all the popularity and people's love after the flight. i think he dealt with it just fine he never became stuck up all star struck like even some sportsmen do today i never sold out in him in that sense he stated a good level and tried to form his real judy as a citizen and a cosmonaut 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 would go on. and what did he tell you about his first flight. or.

well he told me how zero gravity felt and said that space could and should be explored that was all he said pretty much. but the word. he will say that once you've made your first spaceflight it's like a trunk you want to go back constantly the quicker. 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 a lunar program you know and i still sometimes fly to the moon in my dreams i very sorry that it will never happen i did a case of many years of my life to this profession starting from nine hundred sixty and quitting in one thousand nine hundred two i left my crew at the same time i left mission control of our earth when you were in space me at the core.

of my flights were always so short during my second flight i even also mission control to prolong my mission it was supposed to 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've been on six months or longer missions i was not tired of it i wanted to keep working yes sure. how does the earth look from space which great city where. 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 policies 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 cremation the shores when you look down you see mounds it's says it cities huge

rivers everything that there is on earth. it could 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 see you. how do your spaceflight change your life when or why they didn't. know you were 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 great commander and certified the deputy commander at the time i was going to attend the academy to switch to more advanced aircraft i was piloting to make seventeen at a time big nineteen's were already in use and the introduction of the make 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. does the heart to be a cause 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. sir 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 in one nine hundred sixty one people can go to mars if they want to.
