From up here the earth is beautiful, without borders or boundaries! (Yuri Gagarin)
This is equivalent to the famous phrase "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", delivered U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong, at the time of the mission dell'allunaggio Apollo11 \u200b\u200bJuly 20, 1969. Yuri Gagarin holds the record of the first man in space, for making a short flight into orbit April 12, 1961 aboard the shuttle Vostok1. The complete its elliptical orbit around the planet, led him to altitude (302 km) ever achieved by humans. To him we owe the first enraptured look on the surface of our Mother Earth and those words of awe: " Earth is blue ... it's beautiful! , communicated by radio to the base.
Gagarin, for the first time that blue planet for us is a stereotype, but you lose in another dramatic cliché as it ascended on high, the land was far from seamless. His adventure brought prestige to his country, but his nation was at war. A new war is still unknown. A war spectacle, paraded on television in the form of incredible feats and technological progress, but behind the scenes, sparkling, lies a trail of blood that had nothing to envy to the Second World War, whose scars still burning on the skin of thousands of soldiers deprived of their youth and millions of families who have suffered famine and deprivation in facilitating the development of this extreme form of human breeding which is the world as we know it today.
Gagarin had not-and no-fault. He was lucky extract to a group of at least twenty highly qualified candidates. All experienced pilots, pioneers of air and brilliant minds. Gagarin did not have faults, but as he paid all his colleagues. He paid the price for a silence that can not be sealed only with an oath of secrecy, as solemn. He like all his colleagues at home and those others, the enemies have seen the infamous fate of the great heroes that do not appear to be without such an extreme sacrifice. Yuri Gagarin died only seven years after his fantastic flight. An accident like everyone else and like everyone else, besides a bad taste in the mouth for the loss of an incredible person, he left to suspect the plot.
That way, out of the teeth, it seems trivial. But it is not.
few days ago, the investigation is concluded conducted by Igor Kuznetsov, a retired colonel of Russian aviation. The explanation is simple: Forgot open air intake during flight at high altitude, diving to avoid decompression, loss of meaning of the drivers, impact with the ground. It took forty years for 'is boiata?
But back in the fifties.

Achilles and Giambattista Judica Cordiglia , amateur and dangerously similar to our own mad scientists of the novels of the postwar period, with crude home-made equipment, are aimed their electronic ear against the sky and what they heard made them deeply creepy. Among the planets of our solar system, bouncing screams of pain, tears, relationships-mission in which the professionalism of the pilot barely covers the terror of a painful death. From their underground bunker, renamed Torre Bert, Judica Cordiglia brothers and their team of volunteers, listened to hundreds of radio and recognized at least 14 Russian astronauts in the history will never mention.
Among these, the first woman in space, known as Ludmila. Started from the Russian base in the spring of 1961 aboard the shuttle Vostok.
arrives in orbit, but its heat shield was damaged during take-off and there are units that can reach nor is she equipped to go out and manually fix the fault.
Its stock of oxygen is limited, and his return is effected anyway. A suicide mission. There remains the last of her desperate relationship to stream here. "But it is not dangerous? ... Answer, I'm hot ... I see the flames ... I'm dying, but that the world will not know ..."
and it is this phrase that gives the title to the book Dossier Sputnik. "... This world will not know ..." Achille and Gian Battista Judica Cordiglia, published in late 2006 and available from the publisher Mariogros here.
