      FIRSTTTTT!!!!!! BITCHES IM FIRST OMG I JIZZED ALL OVER MYSELF IM ECSTATIC !!!!

      • Miss India says:

        OMG russia is truly backward country, such poverty exists only in Africa, but instead of development they wastefully spend billions of dollars on useless things. Who needs man in space when millions of Russian people dying of starvation and poverty?

        • Буран says:

          India is the true model of how to treat those that are worst off. If India is so much better than Russia, how is it that specific infants are subject to infanticide, based on gender or how is it or why is it that farmers resort to drinking pesticide as a form of protest against the policies of the government.

          However, supposedly, according to you, millions of Russians are dying of starvation. Which, I’m pretty sure would be well documented and well spoken of in the Western media. Yet, as far as I know, it’s those of the lower castes in India, that take such extreme measures as drinking toxic chemicals because they can no longer compete against cheaper grain from abroad.

          • scot says:

            It’s not Indian - just a a rather inept anti russian propagandist who deliberately dumbs down it’s posts to appear like a “real” person.

            It hasn’t yet had the intelligence to realise that because it’s posts are so unbelievably dumb they do the opposite of what it intends.

            • Elena_LM says:

              Miss India is actually from Finland. She hates Russia becasue they took Karelia

              • Буран says:

                Finland, a desolate place not even worthy of being invited by the rest of the Scandinavian countries. Apart from the last decade, throughout the Cold War, they were relatively fascist semi-authoritarians who tried to appease (brown nose) the Soviets at all times.

              • Ördög says:

                I thought of writing something more elaborate here about both Miss India and Buran. But maybe it’s enough if I simply call Buran a merzavets and MI a doofus (and a disgrace for my country, if he / she is from Finland)?
                ´
                Anyway, here’s a classic tribute to Yuri, by Finnish rock group Miljoonasade. Written in 1986. Too bad I can’t find it in Russian anywhere - there IS a Russian version (by a certain Aleksei Dolgov), which was given to Gagarin’s widow and to Soviet leader M. S. Gorbachev. (Three cheers to them!)

                The title of the song is “Lapsuuden sankarille” - isn’t it “Geroyu Detstva” in Russian? And “To A Childhood Hero” in English. But it’s commonly referred to as “Fly, Yuri Gagarin”.

          Oh dear… -10 again

          Have you heard…? The Americans spent far more on this in the end than the Soviets. There were plenty of poor people the yanks could have given the money to as well. It is true that only the capitalist industrial military complex could ever afford to win though.

          And ther are loads of super things we have a result…. from Wikipedia……

          “The scientists fostered by these efforts helped develop for space exploration technologies which have seen adapted uses ranging from the kitchen to athletic fields. Dried watermelon and ready-to-eat foods, in particular food sterilisation and package sealing techniques, stay-dry clothing, and even no-fog ski goggles have their roots in space science.”

          I like my non-stick frying pan!!

          If neither country had done it - and spent the money on education/health etc. we’d al be in better shape.

          Ther is no doubt, however, that Gagarin was an extremely brave man.

        • Lutra Lutra says:

          such a comment could leave only the poor in mind and hungry for knowledge of people!

        • funny says:

          Damn This person!!

          this man can make whole Countries Goes into war only by his one Big Stupid Mouth..

          In Russia a Man like you is called bitch!!
          I really love to Slap and then torn your fucking mouth!!

      • Miss India says:

        Such an awesome achievements, it is sad that he became an unknown and irrelevant to the world thanks to Soviet Russia’s iron curtain, He could have cashed in his status and become a millionaire like us in the West. :(

        • scot says:

          Fake Miss India

          2 marks for you…..

          You lose 8 because..

          1) Everyone in the west was taught about Yuri Gagarin
          2) “Like us in the West”? f you have been in “the West” you would have noticed that we are not all milionaires

          It is true that he would have made more $$$$ if he’d been a Yank so that gets 2 marks.

        • Mr India says:

          Name 1 equivalent achievement done by someone from Finland or India?

          lack of replies, explains the reason why there are no answers.

      • scot says:

        Shurik - nice.

        Massive respect from myself and the first “Firster”, Tim Berners Lee.

        It’s getting tough to get a FIRSTTTTT!!!!! on ER - unlike on Miss India’s “blog” “La Russophobe” - where you could pop over and get hundreds because no-one gives a shit what she publishes.

        Unfortunately, getting a FIRSTTTTT!!!!! on her blog is similar to winning a small piece of dog shit.

    2. shurik says:

      SECOND!!!!!! BITCHES I WAS FIRST OMG I JIZZED ALL OVER MYSELF IM ECSTATIC !!!!

    3. Spaceman says:

      Pay attention to pic 7.jpg . Mr. Gagarin is driving car of Western make. Why? Because Soviet/Russian cars suck and have always sucked big time.

      • CZenda says:

        I guess it was a gift from the manufacturer (Matra), French Communist party or God knows who…

        BTW, note the photo with Che Guevara. It shows how fast, within a few years, Gagarin´s alcoholism got the better of him.

      • w says:

        Matras have always been terrible cars - truly terrible. He wouldve been better off with Volga

    4. pnw says:

      He was first.

    5. Stefan says:

      “Yuri Gagarin, the first man in the modern world’s history into space.”

      You mean, before modern times, there were other people in space…? ;)

      Great pictures, otherwise.

    6. maxD says:

      The guy was absolutely fearless. And that killed him in the end.

    7. adios says:

      i read book about him,called Doroga v kosmos(Road to the space).very interested book,he was realy good guy.

    8. SSSR says:

      He was first in space but USA was first and only on the moon!!!!

      19 landings…

      • Miss Russia says:

        Oh, common, USA have never been on the moon. Nobody outside USA believe this staged show about american moonlanding…

          • cj says:

            I’m not sure we did. I grew up in Seattle where my father worked for BOENG Aerospace. He retired a few years ago after working there over 30 years working on the electronics for things like the lunar walker and later the space shuttle. As an employee he was sworn to secrecy - but now he’s old and lately he’s been talking to us about things like this. He said we the lunar landing was all remote controled: it was robotics that got us the moon rocks. Check out “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon” on YouTube. Leaders have been lying to citizens since the time of the Pharaohs.

            • scot says:

              Not even going there……… there is a conspiracy theory for everything - and this is the easiest one to make up.

                • Heatmiser says:

                  Thanks scot -

                  Occum’s Razor: the simplest answer is usually the correct answer.

                  In 1972 it would have been easier to go to the Moon than to have manufactured fake evidence of such a trip. These conspiracy theorists grew up in a world of special effects, but no such thing existed in the early 1970’s. Just check out any movie from the period, they couldn’t even fake a simple car ride.

                  There is indeed a mirror on the Moon left by Apollo astronauts. Every day since they placed it there someone in Texas shoots a laser at the mirror to record the distance.

                  Also, the 6 manned Apollo missions brought back 382kg (840lbs) of Moon rocks. The 3 unmanned Luna missions brought back 326g (.7lb). There is no way robots could have brought back so much of the Moon in 1972. I don’t think you could bring back almost a half-ton of rocks today. And we still have the rocks as evidence.

                  And as I said earlier, we left our crap up there too.

                  Personal side note: When I was a boy I went to the Boston Science Museum and they had a Moon rock on display, I reached over the glass and touched it - I touched the Moon! Of course it was probably faked by the government the bastards!

    9. adios says:

      2SSSR

      you are right,but the moon are in SPACE,not in USA and space ENDLESS!!!!!!!he opened road to infinity!!!!!!!!!!!millions,billons,trillions people will going to the space in future but he ALWAYS will be FIRTS!!!!!!!!!!!

    10. brbrbr says:

      first one in space was belgian farmer after starting his customised volvo

    11. SSSR says:

      This is one small step for man,and one giant leap for mankind!

    12. SSSR says:

      Russia(I mean the Soviet Union)was ahead of the USA by 7 days to go into space.At least 1 moon landing was real.Beond that I think the most important moment in space was when a Soviet cosmonaut and a American astronaut shook hands.Some fingers were farther away from the button that would end human life after that!

      • Heatmiser says:

        Nice comment! Russia and USA and other nations are also currently partners in the International Space Station. But I think the “Space Race” was important because both USA and Russia went to space decades earlier than if there had been no competition. In a strange way, they helped each other to go into space.

        And, all 6 manned moon landings were real. We have lots of rocks from the moon. Robotics and hollywood style special effects were not sufficient to accomplish faking that in those days. We also left spacecraft, flags, cars and footprints which will be visited again someday. It would be idiotic to have faked the landings knowing someday someone would go up there and NOT find these things.

    13. viperman says:

      Hats off to you Yuri! Russia can be proud of this man and his accomplishments - seems he was a man of great character and courage.
      In his honor there is a crater on the moon named after him.

      Wheels up ……………

      • brbrbr says:

        he crashed in crater? moon ?

        • viperman says:

          Yuri crashed his MIG15 and was killed. It is speculated he crashed due to a vortex(in other words - jet wash) created by a MIG who flew before him and he lost control and crashed.
          In honor of him - a crater on the moon was named after him because many view him as the first man in space and if time allowed the first man on the moon possibly.
          Bottom line - he was a great man who died too young - 35 years old! In the flight school we studied about him and his accomplishments - he was ahead of his time!!!!!

    14. He was the first man in the modern world’s history into space, but i’m the best actor in the modern world’s history.

    15. Damn, you beat me to it! They must have been referring to the famous ancient Egyptian space programme. C’mon, did you really think the pyramids were just fancy gravestones? They’re obviously the nose cones of giant rockets…

    16. Lutra Lutra says:

      ПЕРВЫЙ НАХ и ниибет!!!

    17. Coolio says:

      Gagarin my man !

    18. Can you please next time jizz all over my face and ass.

    19. Can you please next time jizz all over my face and ass!

    20. Dobra Dyen says:

      What is he doing with a man who wanted to fire a nuclear bomb at Washington and later despise the Soviet Union? BTW, he still looks good on those tee shirts!

    21. Uh… not to rain on anyone’s parade but Comrade Gagarin wasn’t the first person in space. He was simply the first person to make it BACK from space alive, and on Russian soil.

      According to this site:http://www.lostcosmonauts.com/pioneersit.htm (should be in English but may be in Italian), on 2 February 1961 an un-named ‘Cosmonaut X’ was launched into orbit but perished upon re-entry when his parachute failed to deploy slamming him into the ground. Later, on 7 April 1961 Vladimir Illyushin (son of the aircraft designer and the very best pilot the Soviet Union had) was launched and almost suffered the same fate. He crash-landed in China and was not returned to Russia for over a year.

      Gagarin was sent up a week later because by then the world knew the Soviets were up to something. Even Gagarin didn’t land where he was supposed to owing to a navigational problem, but at least he managed to land in Russia.

      So no, Gagarin wasn’t the first in space, he was the third. He was just the first one to make it back to Russia alive.

    22. Valar says:

      A real hero…

      Miss India I am boring of your stupid comments…

    23. Gagarin first in space? Maybe not, according to these guys: http://www.lostcosmonauts.com

    24. CZenda says:

      I can just recommend reading “Omon Ra”, a novel by Victor Pelevin.
      I discovered the book in the darkest corner of a discount-book dealer´s shop. It was some 0,50 EUR and I must say it was one of the best values for a pocket change I ever found!

    25. brbrbr says:

      i do not trust you. you are propagandist wiht no kriticism!!!

    26. Kirov says:

      I guess you believe the Americans weren’t “actually” on the moon either?

    27. Laura says:

      His looks remind me a bit of William Shatner.

    28. Omid says:

      come on guys! Do you really think that american astronauts landed on the moon? I’m pretty sure all that rubbish was made in a hollywood studio. Those bastards were real good (still are), when it comes to take advantage of peoples ignorance.

      • Heatmiser says:

        Omid

        A Hollywood movie is a form of ENTERTAINMENT, not a form of EDUCATION. Americans realize that we are watching a piece of ENTERTAINMENT based on a historical event. We have no problem watching a movie and realizing things may not have happened exactly as depicted. The reason for this is simple: A strict documentary would not be as exciting and therefore would not make as much money. But the rest of the world sees: American Propoganda! American Deception! American Lies!

        It’s ENTERTAINMENT that’s all! Have fun with it or not - it’s your choice.

        Having have said that - the special effects that you grew up hating weren’t developed until 1977 with the “Star Wars” movies. As I said earlier, in 1972 Hollywood could not pull off the special effects for a convincing car ride. Just watch a movie from this era and you will see what I mean.

        Lastly -

        Gagarin was a great man, and it is too bad this post got turned into a conspiracy theory against NASA when it should have been about his achievements. It looks like he lead the Soviet equivalent of a rock star’s life.
