Reason for leaving shuttle flights - to develop a resource
 and the enormous financial costs of training and service shuttles.

And this is well and good when the " old piece of iron " , spent his life , removed from service.

And what about the huge financial costs were relevant ... when the space race with the Soviet Union ,

British explorer James Cook
who first toured the world .

First there still was not Cook. More than 200 years before Cook , in 1519 the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe went Fernando Magellan. After many adventures , discoveries , battles, death of Magellan's expedition led by Juan Sebastian Elcano de , who succeeded in 1522 to bring the only remaining ship around the 18th surviving crew members back to Spain. That Elcano is the first traveler, travel around the world . That he has received from the Spanish king's coat of arms with the image of the globe and the inscription "Primus circumdedisti me" (" You first came around me ").
In general, it is worth noting that both the risk of committing trip around the world in that era , and most importantly , the fact of the importance of making this journey for all of humanity, it was comparable in importance with the first manned flight into space.

Man wants to move to a monument to Yuri Gagarin

An amateur astronomer from Manchester Gurbir Singh organized a campaign to move the monument to Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin from London to Manchester.

Gurbir Singh, who is the author of the book "Yuri Gagarin in London and Manchester," which tells about the visit of the first astronaut to Britain in 1961, believes himself to his monument to Gagarin would have chosen precisely Manchester.

Monument to Yuri Gagarin, given the Russian federal agency Roskosmos the British Council, was opened in London on July 14, 2011 the daughter of astronaut Elena Gagarina.

However, the British Council has received a temporary period of one year, permission to place a monument on the Mall Street in central London, and by July 2012 it will need to find a new home.

And what would he chose?

Colonel Yuri Gagarin visited Britain only once, in July 1961, two months after his epochal flight into space.

He was invited to England, the leaders of the Joint Trade Union of Machine Builders and casters, since before entering the Military Aviation School Gagarin was a trade moulder, caster.

It tells Gurbir Singh, of the five days spent in Britain, one day Gagarin allocated to Manchester, where he visited the offices of both unions, Manchester town hall, as well as the manufacturing plant of heavy engineering company Metropolitan Vickers in Trafford Park.

Singh argues that this is the day the Soviet cosmonaut seemed most interesting.

"When I studied the five days spent in Britain, Gagarin, and talked with many who have met him and talked, it became clear to me that he liked best in Manchester, where he talked with local workers. If Gagarin himself was deciding where to install the monument, he would choose Manchester "- believes Singh.

"I am pleased that Manchester has decided to join the fight" - commented a campaign spokeswoman Singh of the British Council Adre Rose.

However, Manchester - is not the only contender.

Total Council received four applications for placement of the monument to Gagarin, but the other three options not yet known.

Petition for transfer of the monument in Manchester is on a special website on the Internet. Campaign and supports the urban municipality. However, to sign the petition can be anyone, even if he does not live in Britain. Importantly, as the site says, "to awaken interest in the subject." Until the end of the year the organizer hopes to collect 1000 signatures.

If the Manchester bid wins, the new place, and this time it was permanent, residence of the monument to Gagarin could be one of the squares in the center of the city or area Trafford Park.
