Dear alien! This letter I address you from the planet Earth. A more accurate address, you are unlikely to be interested. And if you've heard of my planet? If you raise your eyes, or what have you, up, in the dark on your planet, that is possible when all the lights come over the horizon, you will be able to find on the heavenly slope of the bright star – Sun, so we call our star, and next to it the blue planet – the Earth. And from there came to you my message. How are you, brother? Because unlikely that your response will ever be received by me, think about it, and answer to myself. Everything is okay with you and your family healthy? Came true your dreams? If your noble endeavor? You, too, I'm sorry for this flood of questions, but I believe intelligent beings thoughts anything like the same.
Mankind always dreamed of overcoming gravitation and reaching other planets. But it was only in the 1960ies that this dream was to become reality.
On the 12th of April 1961 the spaceship «Vostok» was launched into space with a man on board and after orbiting our planet successfully returned to the Earth.
The first man to overcome gravitation and orbit the Earth was Yuri Gagarin. This day went down in history of mankind as an outstanding achievement, opening the space era.
In the course of space exploration there have been lots of achievements of world science and technology. This period saw the launching of many earth satellites, numerous space laboratories. Among the achievements we may enumerate the landing of automatic stations on the Moon, the flights of space laboratories towards Venus and Mars.
These are the years of manned space flight programmes: Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman-cosmonaut to make a space flight, A. A. Leonov achieved the first «space walk» in 1965, the first Soviet experimental station with four cosmonauts on tjoard went into orbit, the first American expedition landed on the Moon.
