Titov

[un-ionizetheradlab]

Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov endures vestibular training...aka he is made to sit in a tiny metal “capsule,” which is then spun around like crazy at breakneck speed!

Tbh, even if they aren’t as well-known as the Three Greats (Gagarin, Tereshkova and Leonov), the other Soviet cosmonauts were pretty cute too. Like, Yegorov, Bykovsky, Belyayev, heck, even Titov were all just so huggable-looking! And that’s just from the first original group.

aaaah so true!! 💕

they’re all such cutie pies! 💞
