His name is Sergei Korolev, until recently he was known only as the Chief-Designer. He is the man who created the R-7 rocket which launched Sputnik-1 and Gagarin in space. That rocket i still in use more than 50 years since it's first launch. One of the safest launch system on ever designed

The impact this would have on an individual can't be measured. Seeing the earth from so far above, that all our worldly activity, wars, freindships, trade, all our human endeavor, just becomes insignificant and invisable, and all that's left are the shadows of clouds on a borderless land.
