Space race 3
They were not satisfied with just the satellite. They want something
more, something unbeatable. And in that course Russia was trying at their best
levels. Like Russia, USA also was trying hard to create the history.
After Russia`s launch of its first
satellite, within a month they sent a dog named laika on 3rd November 1957.
USA was successful in achieving that satellite feat with its EXPLORER on 31st January 1958.
Russia again in the front pages, it was successful in sending a living
animal into the space and bringing it back safely to the earth. though it was
the craziest moment for Russia, it was fearful news for USA as Russia was
rewriting all the pages of world`s history on its name. While USA was busy in
increasing its chances to lead in space race, Russia was completely ready for
that step. Sergei korolov, the Russian scientific
head, selected his best person and it was the year 1961 and the date was 12th
april.
There was a man standing at
the entrance of the rocket. Yuri Gagarin, his name. The last words he left out
before stepping into the rocket were…
“I will be back”
Countdown starts
Ignition…
Boost…
The first man into the space
And the Space Race never turn back
