The April 12, 1633 Galileo was accused of heresy by the Inquisition. Also April 12, 50 years ago, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, aboard Vostok I, becomes the first human to orbit Earth.
see, my brain is so timeless that a few days ago when a friend who also studied physics, told me that a cosmonaut would give a lecture, I thought it would be Yuri Gagarin himself who would come. She said she had seen on a poster. Then I ran, very excited, out of the library where I was, to read that sign. As I looked, I thought, "Yuri, here in Mexico?, But should give the conference in Russia!". I could not find the poster at first but I was stuck next to the cafeteria, and I read to see if they had the name of Yuri Gagarin. He had only vague indications. Suddenly, something clicked in my brain. Then, calm way, I went to the library, I approached the table where I was with my friend and said,
"I just fell into account that Yuri is dead, and then I sat.
If you think this is funny, try to live a day with me, haha.
But of course, Yuri died very young, just 34 years. He died while piloting a fighter jet, with a passenger.
cosmonaut conference today was another, Nikolai M. Budarin. Budarin is a graduate of Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) and has traveled as a flight engineer in the missions STS-71/MIR-19, SOYUZ TM-21, ISS-06 and has been eight spacewalks. Unfortunately I was late to the conference and not heard him speak. I only saw when some men associated with the aerospace industry in Mexico talked about the cooperation that Mexico has with other countries such as Taiwan, Russia and Vietnam, and was glad to know that there are several projects in which my country is involved.
In the not too distant 1961, cuando hizo historia a bordo del Vostok I, Yuri dijo estas palabras: flybys of Earth in a ship-satellite, I saw how beautiful our planet. People will keep and increase this beauty, not destroy it! Que traducidas al español would be something like: "Orbiting the Earth in the spaceship, I see how beautiful our planet is. Settlers, preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!"
No doubt had he lived at the time of the Vostok I, which was temporary Gagarin, or the Apollo missions, had followed every step we took, with great courage, glued to the TV to radio and newspapers, but currently have a pessimistic view on the media, but these are other times.
Oh, and also a day like today, another 12 April but in 1991, 20 years ago, was born the author of this blog, obsessive compulsive student of physics and attempted science fiction writer, Damian Osorio Neri.
This entry also join in the Yuriesfera , which celebrates the year of Yuri Gagarin. In the Yuriesfera find information about this man and the mission in which he participated. I invite you to visit.
