The first woman to fly into the dream universe to Mars

On March 6, 2007, Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in the world to fly into space, was 70 years old. On this occasion, she revealed her unfulfilled dream: to fly to Mars.

Responding to Itar Tass one day before the anniversary of "the cross of the cross ", the woman who was given the nickname "Hai Au" talked about the dream on the Red Planet: " I am willing to fly up there without returning " .

However, her name is not associated with the Red Planet, but the Earth. From June 1963, the name Tereshkova was known throughout the world. The fate of an idyllic rural girl who graduated from high school to work in a textile factory but became a cosmonaut became a legend about " cosmic cinders ".

The cold war and the rush to the universe among the great powers made many rumors about her flight and life. In addition, the first female astronaut's silence, her refusal to answer the press made more speculation. But yesterday, March 5, Valentina Tereshkova, in contact with the press before her 70s, officially answered questions over the years.

On June 14, 1963, the " Orient 5 " ship and astronaut Valeri Bykov were launched into orbit. The following day was the plan to bring Valentina Tereshokva to orbit with " Orient 6 ". The departure took place smoothly. But what happened to the ship in orbit?

Ms. Valetina revealed: "There was a flaw in the ship's automatic program: instead of lowering it, it raised its trajectory. The result was that the farther I was from Earth instead of coming back closer."

Mrs. Valentina immediately reported the incident to the center. And just a day later, the second day of the flight, the details were added and the trajectory was revised. After that, the program leader asked the female astronaut not to reveal this problem, which is why she kept it for decades.

There have also been rumors that the first female astronaut's health was affected by gravity, that she was vomiting, dizzy, and related scientific research programs thus " dumped the river. " dumping the sea ". In fact, Mrs. Valentina said, the three-day flight was going on normally. She was forced to wear astronaut clothes all the time, so on the second day her right shin was swollen and it was unbearable on the third day. The protective cap weighs heavily on the shoulder. The transducer on the head is itchy, irritable.

Valentina started craving for normal food on Earth: bread, potatoes . But in the universe, there was only hard bread. She confessed to having one vomit, but not because of a gravitylessness, but because . cosmic food!

The final challenge is grounding parachute jumps (all astronauts of " Eastern " ships must then parachute and land separately from the ship). She confessed to being afraid. Below is a large lake (astronauts cannot control a heavy parachute that is opened from a height of 4 km above the ground). My thoughts at the time were: "God, brought a single woman to the universe, now rewards her with a lake . " The astronauts underwent training to land, but after such a long flight, would she be able to continue . water? Fortunately, the parachute flew over the lake and the astronaut landed on the ground.

. 44 years after the flight, Valentina had two marriages. She also participated in many social work. Asked about the present wish, the first woman to fly into space said: "If I have money, I will fly again. For years I have been very interested in Mars. My dream is to fly there and I'm willing to fly there, even if I don't get back! ".
