Today, the world marks 45 years since the publication of the human into space. In 1965, he made a Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. He left aboard the "Voskhod-2" for 23 minutes 41 seconds, with half that time spent in the free swimming, having escaped from the ship to more than five meters.
When Leonov returned to the "Sunrise", there is an emergency situation - because of the bloated space suit he could not immediately get to the airlock. Cosmonauts had to show great courage and willpower to not get lost. Alexei Leonov recalled that, in order for example to squeeze a hand in a glove, it took him a force of 25 kilograms.
Eventually Leonov depressurize the spacesuit and contrary to the instructions prescribing enter the gateway down, I decided to "vplyt" facing forward - he did it.

The flight was an event of global importance. On that day, all the radio transmission was interrupted by the Soviet TASS report. Alexei Leonov, twice awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
For 40 years the history of outputs and work in space, the length of stay of the person in the vacuum of space per outlet increased from 12 minutes to 9 hours, said "Russia 24".
The glory of the Soviet space program!
I love this theme ...

MORNING IN SPACE
Alexei Leonov first of the astronauts in space failed to notice, and then draw in the picture the moment when the fiery red sun Dimka had just got up from the horizon. Extremely contrasting colored steel band covering the planet. And over the sun briefly appeared extraordinarily beautiful aura, its shape reminiscent of Russian kokoshnik. The first sketch of this figure astronaut made with colored pencils on the page logbook on board the spacecraft "Voskhod-2».

BLUE ZONE
Much astronaut knows the stories, heard even in the world. Obnako space is infinitely diverse, and we must be prepared for the events that the world is unknown. For example, one of them. He watched the author of the picture - the astronaut: rainbow halo over the wide, sharply defined zone stretches over the horizon a bluish layer. And through a translucent reddish stars. What is it?

MAN of the planet
Historical minutes! Man floats freely over our planet. This is a generalized "self-portrait" Leonov, which he painted shortly after his flight. For several minutes there was an astronaut to float freely. He proved that a spacewalk is not something mysterious that the space can be carried out physical work, carry out scientific observations.
With a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour flying in the suit over the planet man.

Over the Black Sea
It is unusual, but quite real "self-portrait" cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. After he came out of the gateway spacecraft into space just above the Black Sea.

SPACE filming
This is a documentary picture. After the spacewalk is one of the first tasks the astronauts - set movie camera on an arm lock and to open the cap. It did Alexei Leonov. The first steps in space, people will be captured on film. They need to see and our contemporaries and our distant descendants. Forever will be stored film in Moscow, in a special vial at the monument in honor of space explorers.

Ahead of the Earth
Soon the solid earth. In the meantime, even an astronaut in a "cosmic house." Behind the glass window - a drop of hot metal to break cover the ship. There is a duel with nature. The winner must be a man. And now look how tense face astronaut: affects strong overload. Soon touchdown.

RETURN
The flight program is executed. Spaceship coming from its orbit. Ahead of the final stage of flight - the descent to Earth. Everything becomes more dense atmosphere. On all sides the ship cover flows of hot plasma. The temperature increases to 10 thousands of degrees - is higher than the surface of the sun. Melts the outer coating. Giant "Space drop" is approaching Earth.
