2 The history of space exploration in Russia started with Konstantin Tsiolkovcky, a maths teacher from Kaluga. Tsiolkovcky never built or launched a rocket, but he was the first person to understand the main ideas behind rocket science – as early as The history of space exploration in Russia started with Konstantin Tsiolkovcky, a maths teacher from Kaluga. Tsiolkovcky never built or launched a rocket, but he was the first person to understand the main ideas behind rocket science – as early as 1903.

3 He predicted and solved many of the problems in rocket engineering, and he made designs for several rockets. He dreamt of a space age. He predicted and solved many of the problems in rocket engineering, and he made designs for several rockets. He dreamt of a space age.

4 It was nearly 60 years before Tsiolkovsky's dream came true. On 12 th April, 1961, at exactly 9.07 a.m. Vostok 1 lifted off for its 108- minute flight. There was one man inside – Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet pilot and the first person in the world to fly into outer space. During his one orbit around the earth, Gagarin had some food and water; so he was also the first person. It was nearly 60 years before Tsiolkovsky's dream came true.

7 Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was launched into space aboard the Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963, becoming the first woman to visit outer space. She spent three days aloft before returning safely to earth. The flight made Tereshkova a national hero and she was awarded the high honor of the Order of Lenin. Her flight was considered a scientific coup for the Soviet Union, which also had the first man (Yuri Gagarin) and the first dog (Laika) in space. Before her flight Tereshkova had been an avid amateur skydiver, which led to her selection for the cosmonaut corps.

8 Gagarin's flight started a new stage in the history of exploration. It made more space travel possible. Now, over 40 years later, many cosmonauts and engineers from different countries have made flight to outer space. Some of them have stayed in space for several moths. They have done a lot of research and experiments. Gagarin's flight started a new stage in the history of exploration. It made more space travel possible.

9 In the 1990s Russian scientists started thinking about sending tourists into outer space. The world's first space tourist was American millionaire, Dennis Tito. He went on an eight-day holiday in May 2001 in a Russian spaceship. In the 1990s Russian scientists started thinking about sending tourists into outer space.

10 He visited the International Space Station and landed afterwards in Kazakhstan with the two other members of the flight team. 'I was worried that I might not feel well in space,' he said,but I felt the best I' ve felt in my whole life. It was a trip to paradise'.
