see them said that about thank you for being with us today you were part of the group of four officers who were preparing for the first manned space flight how many of you wear and equip can tell us about how the first cost was picked. for. the decision to enlist fighter pilots into the first group of trainee cosmonauts was made by sergei carrillo of the soviet union's head aerospace engineer who developed and launch the sputnik and the first manned space flight that friends ministre the 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 kicked 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 devils hospital slightly trendy pilots who

became the first regiment of sortied cosmonauts. a couple by which criteria were the pilots chosen. 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 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 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 mind you have gagne comrades he would pilot a later space flight and boris a router 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 hire them on hundred kilometers i am just a 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 it above one hundred kilometers i asked them if i was to ride a satellite there was no such thing as a cosmonaut in those days because it didn't even exist satellites and the only things to fly to space at the time the first one having been launched in one nine hundred fifty seven were to get scared and you. know i agree straight away it was voluntary by the way we were stationed in camps the central air field 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 talk to my wife about it but i only needed to think for a minute and most before i agreed. i would have a read through i walk along to the final group of twenty pilots train together for a lot of. work the group was put together in motion one hundred sixty we

met with sergei coral of insect. ember there were eighteen of us by that time two of us were eliminated because their health was not good enough they don'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 get done. over. and what did your training consist of around. with tended lectures on medicine higher mathematics astronomy and so on. arcade how me right how you first met god in you. i was the first of the cosmonauts to meet him i was cents to a military hospital the ward was empty when i arrived two days later he walked in he was stalking me and smiled a lot he was wearing hospital clothes he introduced himself i introduced myself that was how we met. he become friends straight away that didn't have to do it all relations were very good even though we were all very worried i would do we all

must have had 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 way even decommissioned it before of us in the board myself guarin the owner 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 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 you heard her i likes him my opinion of him was and remains very good it was the sort of man that would not let you down in battle or a normal life he had a talent for organization

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 italian one of his positive qualities was that his superiors his friends and his subordinates like said that was important he had a strong sense of jujitsu he said after his fight that his goal was for every pilot who came with him to fly to space but he did his best to make that happen every pilot from the group of twelve who were not eliminated due to poor health will poor disappear. and they all got to make their space fight. how did he deal with all the popularity and the people's love after the flight. when the student i think he dealt with it just fine he never became stuck up or star struck like even some sportsman do today i never sold out in him in that sense he stayed in a good level and tried to perform his real g.d.p. as a citizen and the 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 were to be in the same crew would . cover and what did he tell you about his first flight there with her. because of course well 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 for four hours where we were able to see that once you've made your first spaceflight it's like a truck you want to go back constantly which. 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 yeah well they 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'm very sorry that it will never happen i did it catered many years of my life to this profession starting from nine hundred sixty and quitting in one thousand eight hundred two i left my crew at the same time i left mission control. tower to you mr earth when you were in space when your pic or. my flights were always so short during my second flight even as 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 have been on six months or longer missions i was not tired of it i wanted to keep working. kind of how does the earth look from space which greets you 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 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 have dark blue in the middle and greenish assured when you look down you see mountainous desert cities huge rivers everything that there is on earth. do you believe in god that what you. 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 what conditions permit your new bird the whites 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 for deputy commander at the time i was going to attend the academy to switch to more advanced aircraft i was piloting the mc

seventeen at the 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 on no account complain about my life anything 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 kos-mos wife and i. will never again was what she said after my second flight she coach you worried only three years later they offered me to go on another mission when i came home and told her that she never said no. thank you very much for this interview that she has thank you and i wish you good health and happiness
