27.03.2013 - Před 45 lety zahynul první kosmonaut Jurij Alexejevič Gagarin

27.march 1968 killed the first cosmonaut of the world Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin. It happened during a normal training flight on the aircraft MiG-15uti jet trainers, the instructor did Vladimir Sergeyevich Serjogin. During this flight, you should ascend to the height of 4200 m, there make rozhon with the jump and then go into a dive. Took off from Čkalova airport in 10 hrs 18 min 45 sec and the flight lasted a mere 13 minutes. Hit the ground close to the village Novosjolovo, Kiržankého turf Vladimirské area.
Both pilots were killed, long přetřásaly rumors that Gagarin did not die on the plane, but that it re-launched into space and the spaceship is out of control and there he was, circling still. These are all but nonsense.

Today it is hard to imagine how huge the risk was in 1960 completed a space flight. Missiles and missile technology have been compared with today's technique basically, in its infancy, and completed a flight into space carrying with them a huge risk. The soviets then succeeded, and outstripped in the so-called space race the united states.

But that doesn't change the fact that J.And.Gagarin was the first cosmonaut in the world.

To honor his memory .
