Reading. Read the short articles and ask questions Listening: Listen to the short articles and try to learn information: Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, a Soviet air force pilot, was the first human to travel in space. The Soviet cosmonaut circled the earth on April 12, 1961. From blastoff to landing, his trip around the earth lasted 1 hour and 48 minutes. The news about space flight of the Soviet cosmonaut immediately flew over the world.
Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman-cosmonaut in the world. From June 16 until June 19, during a group flight with V. Bykovsky, the spaceship “Vostok-6” piloted by Tereshkova made in 70 hours and 41 minutes 48 circuits around the earth, covering a distance of about 2 million kilometers. When she was in space, she was there together with her “space-brother” Valery Bykovsky. This was another great achievement – launching two spaceship at the same time.
In 1965 the cosmonaut Alexey Leonov went outside wearing a space suit connected to the capsule by a line which also carried his oxygen supply, becoming the first person to “walk” in space. From the first experiments scientists went over to systematic exploration of space.
Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky – the founder of astronautics in Russia, put forward several ideas about space travel. Tsiolkovsky’s idea of spaceship was based on the use of liquid fuels . His calculations were used in modern theory of cosmonautics and practical space travel. Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov- is a famous and founder of practical cosmonautics. He was the chief constructor of the first Earth sputniks and spaceships. Then followed rockets to the Moon, Mars, Venus. Match the dates and achievements in the exploration of space
