Video presentation

Aviation Day and astronautics is special, triumphant holiday! No wonder the whole world celebrates it!

Many centuries passed before mankind found a way to overcome the gravity of the earth and rise into space. Guys, remember fairy tales and legends. On what they just didn’t fly fairy-tale heroes! (Answers children) . (On bats and eagles, on flying carpets and wizards' beards, on the Little Humpbacked Horse and magic arrows.).

The first who saw in a rocket a projectile capable of taking earthlings into interplanetary space was the great Russian scientist Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky. The scientist carried out calculations, made drawings and came up with such an aircraft that could fly beyond the Earth. But, unfortunately, he did not have such an opportunity. And only many years later, another Russian scientist, S.P. Korolev, was able to design and manufacture the first space satellite.

On April 12, 1961, the world's first space flight with a man on board the ship. We have been preparing for this day for a very long time.

Scientists, test designers and people of many other professions were involved in the preparation of the great flight. It was necessary to take everything into account, to foresee everything, in order for the flight to be successful. They chose a pilot for a long time - astronaut.

And after much testing and discussion, it was decided solution: first in the world astronaut will be Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin.

Finally the decisive day arrived. April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin spaceship"East" committed space flight. In 108 minutes, a satellite ship with the world's first astronaut circled Earth and returned safely to Earth. It was a powerful breakthrough in the development space!

And then there was a solemn meeting on Red Square. In a few hours, Yuri Gagarin became the most famous person in the world. When the government announcement of the great flight was heard on the radio, the streets of the whole country filled with crowds of people. Everyone wanted to greet the world's first astronaut, Son of the Earth, Citizen of the Universe.

Valentina Tereshkova - the first woman in the world - astronaut. So far she remains the only woman who committed solo space flight. She spent in space for almost three days.

Originally planned to be sent to space two female crews at once, but later it was decided to abandon this idea.

Mine space flight B. Tereshkova committed June 16, 1963. on the ship "Vostok-6". It was the sixth and last spaceship from the series"East". Launch of ship B. Tereshkova happened at Baikonur not with "Gagarin site", but with a duplicate.

45 years ago with launch vehicle from Baikonur Cosmodrome Soyuz, on board which was spaceship"Sunrise-2". His crew consisted of two Human: ship commander Pavel Belyaev and co-pilot Alexei Leonov. The entire flight lasted a little over a day, but it was a historic flight. During it - March 18, 1965, when the pilot astronaut Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov was the first of earthlings to go beyond space ship and made the first ever exit of a man into the open space.

He was also given the golden keys to the gates of the cities of Cairo and Alexandria (Egypt).

From the memoirs of A. Zheleznyakov

“... In May 1949, Yuri Gagarin graduated from the sixth grade of the Gzhatskaya incomplete secondary school, and on September 30 of the same year he entered the Lyubertsy vocational school No. 10. In December 1949, the Ukhtomsk city committee of the Komsomol accepted Yuri as a member of the Komsomol.

Simultaneously with his studies at the school, he entered the Lyubertsy evening school for working youth, from which he graduated from the seventh grade in May 1951. A month later, he graduated with honors from a vocational school with a degree in moulder-caster. Yuri Alekseevich was proud of his working profession all his life.

After graduating from college and having received a specialty, Gagarin decides to continue his studies and in August 1951 he becomes a student at the Saratov Industrial College.

The years of study flew by unnoticed and were compressed to the limit by a variety of activities. In addition to studying and industrial practice, Komsomol work and sports took up a lot of time. It was in those years that Gagarin became interested in aviation and on October 25, 1954 he first came to the Saratov flying club.

The coming year 1955 was the year of the first significant successes of Yuri Alekseevich. In June, he graduated with honors from the Saratov Industrial College, in July he made his first solo flight on a Yak-18 aircraft, and on October 10 he graduated from the Saratov Aero Club. And on August 3, 1955, the Saratov regional newspaper "Dawn of Youth" published a report "A Day at the Aerodrome", which mentioned the name of Gagarin. “The first praise in the press means a lot in a person’s life,” Yuri Alekseevich wrote later.

On October 27, 1955, Yury Alekseevich was drafted into the ranks of the Oktyabrsky district military enlistment office of the city of Saratov. Soviet army and sent to the city of Orenburg to study at the 1st Chkalov Military Aviation School named after K.E. Voroshilov. Barely put on military uniform, Gagarin realized that his whole life would be connected with the sky. This turned out to be the path to which his soul aspired.

Imperceptibly flew two years within the walls of the school, filled with flights, combat training and short hours of rest. And on October 25, 1957, the school was completed.

Two days later, another significant event took place in Gagarin's life - he married Valentina Ivanovna Goryacheva.

At the end of 1957, Gagarin arrived at his destination - in a fighter aviation regiment Northern Fleet. Army everyday life flowed: flights in the conditions of a polar day and a polar night, combat and political training. Gagarin loved to fly, flew with pleasure, and probably would have continued like this for many more years, if not for the retraining for new equipment that began among young fighter pilots. At that time, no one spoke openly about space flights, so spaceships were called "new technology."

On December 9, 1959, Gagarin wrote a statement asking him to be included in the group of cosmonaut candidates. A week later, he was called to Moscow to undergo a comprehensive medical examination at the Central Research Aviation Hospital. At the beginning of the next year, another special medical board followed, which recognized Senior Lieutenant Gagarin as fit for space flights. March 3, 1960 by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force K.A. Vershinin was included in the group of cosmonaut candidates, and on March 11 he began training.

There were 20 young pilots who were to prepare for the first flight into space. Gagarin was one of them. When preparations began, no one could even imagine which of them would open the way to the stars. It was later, when the flight became a reality, when the timing of this flight became more or less clear, a group of six people stood out, who began to be trained according to a different program than the rest.

And four months before the flight, it became clear to almost everyone that it was Gagarin who would fly. None of the leaders of the Soviet space program ever said that Yuri Alekseevich was better prepared than others. The choice of the former was determined by many factors, and physiological indicators and knowledge of technology were not dominant. Both Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, who closely followed the training, and the leaders of the Defense Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU, who oversaw space development, and the heads of the Ministry of General Engineering and the Ministry of Defense understood perfectly well that the first cosmonaut should become the face of our state, worthy of representing the Motherland in the international arena. Probably, it was precisely these reasons that forced him to make a choice in favor of Gagarin, whose kind face and open soul conquered everyone with whom he had to communicate. And the last word was for Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, who at that time was the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee. When photographs of the first cosmonauts were brought to him, he chose Gagarin without hesitation.

But for this to happen, Gagarin and his comrades had to go through a year-long journey filled with endless training in deaf and pressure chambers, on centrifuges, and on other simulators. Experiment followed experiment, parachute jumps were replaced by flights on fighter planes, on training aircraft, on a flying laboratory, into which the Tu-104 was converted.

But now all this is behind us, and the day has come on April 12, 1961. Only the initiates knew what was about to happen on this ordinary spring day. Even fewer people knew who was destined to turn the whole history of mankind and quickly break into the aspirations and thoughts of mankind, forever remaining in memory as the first person to overcome earthly gravity.

On April 12, 1961, at 09:00 Moscow time, the Vostok spacecraft with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin on board was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. After just 108 minutes, the cosmonaut landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov region. The first flight lasted only 108 minutes (compare with the duration of modern flights lasting months), but these minutes were destined to become stellar in Gagarin's biography.

For his flight, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin was awarded the title Hero Soviet Union and Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR, awarded the order Lenin.

Two days later, Moscow welcomed the space hero. A crowded rally dedicated to the implementation of the world's first space flight was held on Red Square. Thousands of people wanted to see Gagarin with their own eyes.

Already at the end of April, Yuri Gagarin went on his first trip abroad. The "Mission of Peace", as the trip of the first cosmonaut through countries and continents is sometimes called, lasted two years. Gagarin visited dozens of countries, met with thousands of people. Kings and presidents, politicians and scientists, artists and musicians considered it an honor to meet him...

... Fortunately for us, Yuri Alekseevich quickly fell ill with star fever and began to devote more and more time to work at the Cosmonaut Training Center. Since May 23, 1961, Gagarin has been the commander of the cosmonaut corps. And already in the fall of 1961, he entered the N.E. Zhukovsky to get a higher education.

The following years were very stressful in Gagarin's life. A lot of time and effort was taken away by work on the preparation of new flights into space and study at the Academy. And there were (they simply could not have been!) Numerous meetings with people, trips abroad, meetings with journalists. Their number did not decrease, even though the number of astronauts increased.

On December 20, 1963, Gagarin was appointed deputy head of the Cosmonaut Training Center.

But most of all he wanted to fly. He returned to flight training in 1963, and began preparing for a new space flight in the summer of 1966. In those years, the Soviet Union began to implement " lunar program". One of those who began to prepare for the flight to the moon was Gagarin. It is easy to guess how he wanted to be the first to go to our eternal companion. But before that it was still far away. So far, it was necessary to teach the Soyuz spacecraft to fly. The first test flight in a manned version was scheduled for April 1967. Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov and Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin were preparing for it.

The fact that Komarov became the main pilot of the ship does not mean at all that he was better prepared. When this issue was being resolved, Gagarin was decided to "save" and not risk his life.

Everyone knows how the flight of the Soyuz-1 spacecraft ended. Speaking at a funeral rally dedicated to memory Vladimir Komarov, his understudy Yuri Gagarin promised that the cosmonauts would teach Soyuz to fly. In the end, that's what happened - Soyuz are still flying. But this was done without Yuri Gagarin.

1968 was the last year in Gagarin's life. On February 17, he defended his diploma at the Academy named after N.E. Zhukovsky. He continued to prepare for new flights into space.

With great difficulty, he obtained permission to pilot the aircraft on his own. March 27, 1968 was the first such flight. And the last one... The plane crashed near the village of Novoselovo, Kirzhachsky district, Vladimir region.

The circumstances of that catastrophe have not yet been fully elucidated. There are many versions, ranging from pilot error to alien interference. But no matter what happened that day, only one thing is clear - the first cosmonaut of the planet Earth, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, died.

Three days later, the world said goodbye to its hero. Speaking at a mourning meeting on Red Square, President of the USSR Academy of Sciences M.V. Keldysh said: “Gagarin's feat was a huge contribution to science, he opened a new era in the history of mankind - the beginning of manned space flights, the road to interplanetary communications. The whole world appreciated this historical feat as a new grandiose contribution of the Soviet people to the cause of peace and progress. A crater on the Moon and a minor planet are named after Gagarin.


Gagarin's flight lasted only 108 minutes, but it is not the number of minutes that determines the contribution to the history of space exploration. He was the first and will remain so forever ... "

Music sounds

1. This world was created for you and me
How can we stay out of work:
Distant stars wink,
Distance is not the limit.

2. Youth is a fast paced time
May we always strive upwards over it,
And be ready to fly all the time
Even if you wait your whole life.
Readers come out to space music
1. Since ancient times mysterious world planets and stars attracted the attention of people, attracted them with its mystery and beauty. Earlier, long ago, when people were just beginning to recognize the Earth, they imagined it as an inverted bowl, which rests on three giant elephants, standing importantly on the shell of a huge turtle. This wonderful turtle swims in the sea-ocean, and the whole world is covered with a crystal dome of the sky with many sparkling stars. The mysterious brilliance of the stars and the bottomless depth of the sky have always attracted people. They have long tried to conquer the sky. And then there were legends about people who can fly, myths, beautiful legends appeared.

2. Icarus and his father lived on an island that belonged to a very cruel king, it was impossible to escape from him either by land or by sea, the only way to escape was the sky. But how?
Daedalus came up with a very interesting and convenient device - wings. He collected bird feathers and sealed them with wax. Father and son attached their wings to their backs and took off into the sky. Before the flight, Daedalus warned his son that it was impossible to fly high into the sky, as the sun would melt the wax that fastened the wings. The feathers will scatter and he will die. But Icarus was so mesmerized by the sight that he forgot his father's instructions and flew too high. The sun melted the wax, the feathers scattered, and Icarus fell into the sea from a great height. This is such a sad story.


3. Several thousand years have passed since then, many generations of good and kind people have grown up on our Earth. smart people. They built ships and made trip around the world learned that the earth is a sphere. And astronomers have proven that the Earth flies in space, revolving around the sun, making one revolution around its axis per year.
The next step was to make a balloon with a basket for passengers. A brazier with hot coals was placed in the basket. The balloon was constantly filled with hot smoke. But such a ball did not fly long and low. The ball began to be filled with gas, it could fly for a long time, but it was large and clumsy. He flew in the direction in which the wind blew.


Then the airship was created, and then the plane.


And they began to fly in the air shell of the Earth. But people did not stop there, they were attracted by space.
Now it seems familiar to us that spaceships start from the Earth, astronauts live and work at space stations for months, automatic stations fly to other planets. And once space flights were from the realm of fantasy.

Song "Flight"

1. When we grow up, we will fly into space.
In the meantime, we want to tell
About those people, skillful and brave,
that conquered space.

2. Very important
Don't forget their names
All astronauts and scientists,
Which laws are necessary opened
And they paved the way for us into space.

3. In Kaluga near Moscow
The teacher lived alone.
All my life I dreamed about space
Self needed science studied,
Did a great job
And began to create a theory
Space flights.
He was a genius, and today
We must remember Tsiolkovsky.


4. Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (1857 - 1935) - Russian scientist, founder of astronautics, who knew well physics, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics. He is the author of airship projects, works in the field of aerodynamics and rocket technology, one of the founders of the theory of interplanetary communications with the help of rockets, the developer of the principle of rocket propulsion. Many of his contemporaries considered him insane. The scientist was able to outline the path by which humanity went into space.
5. But who built the first rocket?
Do you know about it?
Designer, academician Korolev.
The first satellite was ready for flight
In the last century, in the fifty-seventh year.
He flew through the work
Designers, rocket scientists, workers,
And he was the first in the world, by the way.


6. The name of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev (1906-1966), the chief designer of spaceships, is inextricably linked with space exploration. The chief designer, as the cosmonauts called him, will remain the chief forever. Under his leadership, ballistic and geophysical rockets, the first artificial satellites of the Earth, the first spacecraft were created, on which, for the first time in history, a man's space flight and man's exit into space were made.

7. "He was sincere and simple,
sapper simple -
life lived to its fullest.
The bridge that gave people
From the earth to the stars."

8. "It was a time when every minute equaled years... These were the people who made years equal centuries."
"We were prisoners on a modest ball
And how many times, in the countless change of years,
The stubborn gaze of the Earth in the dark expanse,
I watched with longing the movement of the planets.

9. And then came the twentieth century. Airplanes were already flying in the sky, and the first rockets were launched into space. People believed that the day when a man will fly into space is not far off.
And now ... Start! The huge flash is blinding. An avalanche of fire breaks out from under the rocket and, reflected from the concrete, clouds it with clubs. Furious hum. The rocket rises up, leaving the space harbor of the Universe.

10. After 4 years, there was a new success -
The first man went into space.
Yuri Gagarin completed the flight.
Our pilot flew around the Earth.
Successfully completed the round
Spaceship Vostok.


These seconds were the result of all the disputes of the opponents, the result of insights and quarrels, the result of outlined drawings, the result of short reports in the strict offices of the Kremlin and sleepless nights in a small house in the place to which people came up with a beautiful non-Russian name - Baikonur.

11. That morning the quails became afraid,
That flew into the steppe, soaring from nesting,
When under the sky as if made of silk
Rested on the sky
jet explosion.
And the news spread around the world
As if struck
world finest hour!
Until now, we all keep the newspaper
With a portrait of Yura.
With a TASS message.
His fate is covered with immortality.
His character forged our age.
He smiled from Lenin's Mausoleum
And the world, as on Victory Day, rejoiced.

12. Twenty-six years before the launch of the Soviet spacecraft Vostok with a man on board, Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky said: “I don’t want to die on the threshold of man’s penetration into space. I freely imagine the first person who overcame gravity and flew into interplanetary space ... He is Russian ... He is a citizen of the Soviet Union. By profession, most likely a pilot. He has smart courage, devoid of cheap recklessness. I imagine his open “Russian face, the eyes of a falcon”.

13. These words were spoken by the great scientist in 1938. Yura Gagarin was about a year old at that time. Who could have predicted then that it was this boy, born in the family of Smolensk collective farmers, who would become the first of those inhabitants of the planet, to whose lot falls, having broken the fetters of earth's gravity, to penetrate into interplanetary space? And yet, the portrait of the astronaut, painted by Tsiolkovsky, surprisingly accurately anticipates both the appearance of Yuri Gagarin and his content. inner world.

Video "Do you know what kind of guy he was ..."

14. You say: - Gagarin - and suddenly in front of us
Rushing up, drawn by a whirlwind,
Into the sky, throwing up the Promethean flame,
The steppe, deafening with enthusiastic thunder.
In reality you will see how inspired he is,
Ball flying around and the strings of the universe
Touching in a bold flight with hands
The strings of those invisible, sensing the plexus,
Rushing between them in immortal expanses,
Listen!
Singing pours into the heart -
The voice of the harmony of Eternity in the world.
He rushes, violating with a daring flight
Starry Universe eternal rest.
Listen sensitive stellar ears
Heartbeat and human sigh.
I see: the calmness of the eye under the eyebrow,
In a clear smile, the glow of life.
Heard: from the sky - Health is in order.
Glory to our dear Motherland!
Our contemporary, he lived between us,
He was waiting for a new task from the Fatherland.
Devotee, ever ready with friends
To new exploration of the secrets of the universe.
He is now between us, alive,
In our aspirations and our worries,
Forever will be in the hearts of his name
A call and a symbol of a bold takeoff.

15. We are proud of those people who have connected their lives with a dangerous, difficult, but noble cause - space flights. We are proud that our country was the first to open the way to space!
Ah, this day is the twelfth of April,
How he swept through people's hearts!
It seemed that the world involuntarily became kinder,
Shocked by his own victory.
What he thundered with universal music,
That holiday, in the colorful flame of banners,
When the unknown son of the Smolensk land
Was adopted by the Earth-planet.
Resident of the Earth, heroic this fellow
In his cosmic vessel,
In a circular, forever unprecedented,
In the abyss of the sky waved over her ...
On that day, the Earth seemed to become smaller,
But she became people, maybe relatives.
Ah, this day involuntarily or voluntarily
Giving birth to the thought, what the hell is this -
On a small Earth - why wars,
Why all that the human race endures?
Did you know yourself, from that deaf universe
Having reached their earthly shores,
What news, what a priceless pledge
Delivered to us from future ages?
Yes, - In a row of decades every year
We mark new
Space milestones.
But remember:
The journey to the stars has begun
From Gagarinsky
Russian "Let's go"

16. This flight is unique, a person can live and work in space.
A new profession has appeared on Earth - an astronaut. Of the more than 40,000 professions that exist on Earth, the profession of an astronaut is the most difficult, dangerous and responsible. This is a real feat. A feat scientific, technical, organizational, but above all - purely human. Astronautics a thousand times younger history humanity, its conscious experience. The conquest of space is just beginning.

17. Years, decades, centuries will pass, people will forget the dates of wars and revolutions, but this day will always be remembered. April 12 day. After all, it was from that day - April 12, 1961 - that man began space exploration. By decision of the International Aviation Federation, this day became the World Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics.

"Song "Cosmos"

18. Cosmonaut No. 2 - German Titov on the Vostok-2 spacecraft for the first time in the world made 17 round-the-world orbits, having spent more than a day in flight. If the flight
Yu. Gagarin proved that a person can fly into space, then the flight of G. Titov showed that a person can live in space, work and relax. He was the first to film the Earth from space. People saw their planet in a way that no one had ever seen it before.

19. Titov, Popovich, Nikolaev and Bykovsky
After Gagarin, they flew into space.
More and more new astronauts.
and Valentina Tereshkova
Was among the first astronauts.


I was not afraid, I boldly set foot on the cosmic path. She did her job with honor and proved that women are capable of much, and even to fly into space. The feat of V. Tereshkova was continued by the second woman - cosmonaut - Svetlana Savitskaya.


She not only flew into space, but also worked for many days at the orbital station.
In 1994, Elena Kondakova added to the list of Russian female cosmonauts.


And this list of names of astronauts can go on and on. And they are all citizens of our country - Russia.

20. The spacewalk was another victory that brought people closer to conquering space. The first spacewalk took place in March 1965. Preparation for it was considerable - three years. There were two cosmonauts on the spacecraft - Pavel Belyaev and Leonid Leonov.


Flight duration 1 day 2 hours 2 minutes 17 seconds. During this flight, Leonov was the first to step into outer space and stayed there for 12 minutes 9 seconds.

Video "I am the Earth ..."

21. But on March 27, 1968, the world learned about a terrible tragedy - the death of the first cosmonaut of the planet. It happened in the sky of the Vladimir region near the village of Novoselovo. Shortly before his death, Gagarin turned 34 years old. He made a training flight with an instructor, Hero of the Soviet Union Vladimir Seregin.

22. But sometimes there were failures
And astronauts died...
So, the brave Komarov burned down during the descent.
Another time from overload
valve opened...
Cosmonauts Dobrovolsky,
Patsaev, Volkov died in the ball all heroically.
moment of silence
Song "Tenderness"

23. Twentieth century, taking off to the galaxies,
Brings us all a solemn message:
There is an astronaut - such a profession,
There is already such a position in the world.
Unfamiliar with the map of heaven,
And I did not avoid mistakes that day -
See all: - already a portrait over the abyss
Not a dead star, but a man!
Such position and such right:
He is the first to seek the way to other worlds.
He is working!
Not honor and glory
And duty and loyalty govern him.
The song of the satellites, which is quiet
Star ringing
Thundering, and majestic and simple,
Tomorrow he will take in firm palms,
He will clear up obscure places,
Of what he saw, he will give an account to the people
He, Soft gaze, raised to heaven,
Where bright stars twinkle round dances,
Where he recently shone as a star himself.
On March 9, our country will celebrate the 81st anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's birth. And in our memory he will remain young, with a radiant smile.

24. Yes “... The Great does not die, it remains for people. In the achievements of today's cosmonautics, the thought of the first Chief Space Designer, Academician Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, lives on. And it is precisely today that his words apply: “What seemed unrealizable for centuries, what yesterday was only a daring dream, today is becoming a real task, and tomorrow it will be an accomplishment.” (S.P. Korolev).

25. During this time, astronautics has gone from simple artificial satellites Earth to complex lunar and interplanetary automatic, from single-seat spacecraft to orbital stations with interchangeable crews, from the simplest experiments in space to fundamental research.

26. Flights are getting longer and longer. Astronauts are already in space not for hours, not days, but for several months. The spaceships themselves have also changed. Now these huge buildings, which have everything you need to long life in orbit, these are the International Space Stations - the ISS. The ISS monitors the Sun, planets and stars.


27. Why do people reach for the stars?
Why in our songs
Is the hero a falcon?
Why is everything beautiful
What he created
Man, silent
Call it high?
It's not easy to pave the way
Until yesterday's misty stars
But it's harder to find on Earth
Path,
What he carried in his heart,
What a river carried across the Earth,
That bound the cities forever
That beam raged in the darkness,
Illuminated your years.
Not easy,
But you must find
Path,
What's in the heart to the stars
Dones,
The earthly path is a continuation of the path
To today's bright stars...

28. Listen!
After all, if the stars are lit -

So - someone wants them to be?
So - someone calls these spittles
pearl?
And, tearing up
in blizzards of midday dust,
rushes to god
afraid of being late
crying
kisses his sinewy hand,
asks -
to have a star!
- swears -
will not endure this starless torment!
And then
walks anxious,
but calm on the outside.
Says to someone:
“After all, now you have nothing?
Not scary?
Yes?!"
Listen!
After all, if the stars
ignite -
Does that mean anyone needs it?
So, it is necessary
so that every evening
over the rooftops
lit up at least one star ?!

29. Now a variety of automatic vehicles surf the cosmos and unravel the mysteries of the universe. Astronautics is one of the newest areas human activities and how it will develop in the future depends on all of us. I want to be proud and brave people, would conquer the cosmic abysses, step over the invisible boundary of Pluto's orbit, opening the era of interstellar flights ...

30. If we ask our cosmonauts how their journey into space begins, we will certainly hear the answer: “From a dream! A dream becomes a reality if a person is hardworking, inquisitive and persistent.

Poem by Boris Dvorny "Dream"
Squeezing the window sill with your palms,
You stand with your head thrown back
And the call signs of thoughts fly
TO distant stars- white doves.
Somewhere out there, in the endless darkness,
Beyond the stellar arctic,
In an inaccessible space and time
Other galaxies float by.
I'm sure in some constellation
There are planets like ours, green,
And your peers live there -
Astronauts, poets, scientists.
And on the same moonlit midnight,
Throwing back his head dreamily,
Sad young peer
On a planet in the constellation Pigeon.

Song "Dream to fly"

31. Sons and daughters of planet blue
Soar up, disturbing the peace of the stars.
Established a path to interstellar space,
For satellites, rockets, scientific stations.
The space age is advancing!
The rockets continue their flight
Starting from Baikonur every year.
People are used to such phenomena.
He keeps his first love in his soul,
Let thousands soar to the stars again
But the first was Gagarin, he was his own,
Native, with a smile of a child, mischievous.

32. When Cosmonautics Day is celebrated,
Everyone remembers their favorite.
But on this day we congratulate those
Who creates glory for the country, success:
Everyone who is watching the remote control from the Earth,
How astronauts accomplish a feat
And those who send ships.
Starting from mother - Earth, -
Everyone who is connected with space science in life.
The people owe their love to them.
The country is proud of astronautics:
She was and will be needed!

33. Astronauts, thank you.
Our contemporaries - thank you!
I'm in a rush of excited feelings
Thank you again and again:
You opened to earthlings
Pages of heavenly beauty,
Showed us the earth
From heights never seen before
They showed her in a blue halo.
Humanity now knows:
Space will serve people
They will be obedient.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, heroes
Mighty Star Brothers!
Thank you astronauts!

34. "It is today. And tomorrow? ... Settlements on the Moon, travel to Mars. Scientific stations on asteroids, communication with other civilizations… All this is the future. Let not so close, but real. After all, it builds on what has already been achieved. And we will not be upset that it is not you and I who will become participants in distant interplanetary expeditions. Let's not envy the people of the future. Of course, they will be very lucky, they will become accustomed to what we can only dream of. But we were also very lucky. Happiness of the first steps into space. And let the descendants envy our happiness. These words were said by Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin on March 20, 1967.

35. We run to school
To our favorite class.
Lots of big and new things
Is waiting for us.
There will be a day, dear light
We'll fly too
To secret, fabulous planets
To distant worlds.
Years will pass. Maybe one of us will become an astronaut. And with his flight into space, just like Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, he will glorify our land.

36. To become an astronaut
You must have strong health.
And lead the right way of life
And the training must go through.
And only after many trials
You will become an astronaut.

37. Of course, anyone can want
View from space to Earth.
But is it enough patience and strength?
Only the one who bravely endured everything,
Go on a space flight.
Come on guys, space is calling us!

“Nothing is over, everything is just beginning…”
(K. Tsiolkovsky)




The book exhibition for the Day of Cosmonautics "Steps to the Universe" was launched for children in the reading room of the Irkutsk Regional Children's Library named after Mark Sergeev.
