Happy Space, Planet Earth!
 

Referring to all the inhabitants of the earth before the start of April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin said:

 "Dear friends, relatives and strangers, countrymen, people of all countries and continents!

A few minutes later the mighty spaceship will carry me to the distant Universe.
 What can I say to you in these last minutes before the start!

 My whole life seems to me now, one beautiful moment.
 Everything that lived, what has been done before, had lived and done for the sake of this moment.
 You understand that it is difficult to understand the feelings of a time when very closely approached the hour of trial, to which we have been preparing long and passionately.
 It is hardly worth talking about those feelings that I experienced when I was asked to make this first-ever flight.

Joy! No, it was not only a joy.
Pride! No, it was not just pride.

 I have experienced great happiness! to be first in space, enter one by one in an unprecedented duel with nature - whether it is possible to dream about more !..."

And yet it became the first who managed to escape from the cradle of mankind.

He survived ... and he won!

Let's go! .........

April 12, 1961

You know how the guy he was,
Anyone who trail the star revealed.
Flame was the thunder, stopped the launch site,
And he said softly.

He said - drove off, he waved his hand,
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.

You know how the guy he was,
As relatives of the field he loved.
In the steppe gave first start with the Earth,
There was recognition of his love for her.

He said - drove off, he waved his hand,
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.

You know how the guy he was,
At the hands of the whole world to wear.
Son of the Earth and stars was gentle and simple,
People born as Danko was carrying.

He said - drove off, he waved his hand,
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.

You know how the guy he was,
How to ice it with a stick coming out.
As he sang the song, was cheerful and brave,
How ardently wished to live.

He said - drove off, he waved his hand,
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Swept over the Earth.

You know how the guy he was,
No, not "was" because he defeated death.
You hear a distant thunder, you see, this is it
Again goes to the cosmodrome.

Says - go and live star
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Sweeps over the Earth.
Like down the Peter, the Peter
Sweeps over the Earth.

1. April 10 more than 2 thousand people lined up in the living word "Samara Space 50" on the biggest square in Europe, Kuibyshev Square in Samara, on the occasion of the 50 th anniversary of the first flight into space by Yuri Gagarin. According to the agency "Interfax-Volga, with the Sunday action was attended by more than 3 thousand people, most of them - the students. All participants were given scarves and hats with the symbol of celebration.

"Live", the words "Samara Space 50" which young people were at 12:09, had been photographed by satellite and through the center of Samara satellite data beamed back to Earth. Also, all event recorded from a helicopter and broadcast on large screens in the city.
2. On the same day on the square named after Kozlov next to the museum and exhibition center "Samara Space" opened sculpture "Cosmonaut." The event was attended by Governor Vladimir Artyakov, the daughter of the first cosmonaut Gagarin Galina, a test-cosmonaut, Hero of Russia Oleg Kononenko, head of the Samara Dmitry Azarov.

Have a look at this photo:
media and the organizers called the monument "sculptural composition. But there is no track - just a single plastic sculpture of astronaut, worthy to be installed in some children's summer camp, a la 1980.
Since everything was done in haste and under conditions of limited financing, about any of these monuments and sculptural compositions out of the question. Quietly keep silent about the fact that even in London will be a monument (not a plastic figurine, I suppose), Yuri Gagarin. Haste and desire to excel, I think, called and choice of material and execution, and even what the letters "CCCP" on the helmet is not painted and glued. But soon, if not their otorvut Samarians, then peel the wind and rain.

Many interesting materalov at pobeda-kosmos flipped - rare pictures, videos, audio files (including a complete record of the negotiations during the Gagarin
first flight).


The image of Gagarin, by the way, no less promising than Guevara.
Romantic, positive.
I think the peak of its popularity is still ahead.

True say!
Gagarin image provided not only an eternal earthly success, but also in the future-Planet!

on the day!





Here is a street-art!
The photo was taken in Brussels in September 2007.

I agree that the prospects .
To do this promotion . That day, space , even a shirt with a picture of Gagarin, who would be released . All have sold out .

First we should determine the rights of the name and picture of Yuri Gagarin.

Brand name " Yuri Gagarin " , according to an Internet, registered to his daughter :
Gagarin, Elena , Director General of the State Historical and Cultural Museum - Preserve " Moscow Kremlin " .
Gagarin Galina , professor of Russian ekonomicheskgo TrackInside them . Plekhanov .


Sooner or later , I think it still unwind, there is a commercial entity concerned , a fertile soil . Old frightening image of the transformer with the beating of the hands and lower limbs flame will not work .

But what about the fashion agency " yuriygagarin ?

With the small letters in one word ?
____________
I think the name is the first astronaut in history has , unfortunately , does not become such a brand , such as Che .
And the time has gone - once , and biography of the Gagarin , alas , this has little .
Che - yet, as it does not include , the hero of all , le Chevalier sans peur e! sans reproche.

That's right!
That they make these ridiculous poetic parody "The Poet and Citizen" by M. Ephraim.

The world-famous Pablo Picasso one of his works dedicated to Yuri Gagarin:

Samara sculpture "Astronaut" returns to the place two weeks later
