World Space Week kicks off

36

On October 4, dozens of countries will start World Space Week (WSC). The start date of this thematic week is directly related to the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite by the Soviet Union. In 2020, World Space Week was called "Satellites Improve Life", talking mainly about what spheres of human activity today can no longer be imagined without the use of satellites and satellite technologies. This year the thematic week is dedicated to women in space.

The organizers of the World Space Week note that more than 4 countries of the world are included in dozens of events from October 10 to 90, celebrating the contribution women have made to the development of space science, to astronautics as such.



The first woman to conquer space was a citizen of the USSR Valentina Tereshkova. At the same time, in the official accounts of the VNK, which are primarily focused on the United States and other Western countries, they decided not to remember this once again, publishing materials mainly about American women who have ever flown into space. The latest mention of the first woman in space on Twitter at the OWC is dated June 16.



World Space Week 2021 is attended not only by national aerospace agencies around the world, but also by large companies. Other participants in the representative world forum include the SETI Institute, scientific museums and planetariums in several countries of the world, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, astronomical clubs, American, Asian and European companies producing space equipment and software systems.

For the first time, World Space Week was proclaimed by the UN in 1999.

Logo of the week 2021:



In Russia, events within the framework of the thematic week will be held at the Peoples' Friendship University (RUDN), at the Terskol Peak Observatory (Kabardino-Balkarian Republic), at the Bryansk and Irkutsk Planetariums and at other venues.

World Space Week is designed to talk about the exploration of outer space, about its conquerors, about the prospects, as well as about how fragile our world is against the background of the vast expanses of space - a world that needs to be preserved by joint efforts.

        “Tereshkova didn’t make it into space .. what a thought?” - well, the woman has aged, a little potsdala intellect. recourse And yet, Tereshkova, not only the first woman-cosmonaut, but also the only woman in the history of world astronautics who made a single space flight... Let's respect at least merit and age! love hi

          Reputation is earned over the years, but it collapses in a day. All her merits, for me and not only, were zeroed along with Putin's terms.

        From the Yaroslavl region, 2 communists, 2 spravoorussa and one edrosovets passed to the Duma. And this is not Tereshkova. Maybe they'll push her through some lists?
        Somehow Baba Vale is not rushing. Either the bridge will open, which will collapse in a year from the wind, then it will be made a pawn all over the country with this zeroing. After all, they talked about plans to build either a nuclear power plant or a pulp and paper mill in Cherepovets. We would have dirtied the entire reservoir and the Volga. After Tereshkova's speech on zeroing, Volodin said that these construction plans were worthless. Deal? Perhaps. But the initiative to refute the constitution was covered up by the old hero of the Soviet Union. Sorry, off-topic.

    Actually, their propaganda can only be envied in the ability to hide the defeats of their country from their people and focus the attention of citizens on the successes of their own science and technology.
    According to the Daily News, when polling ordinary Americans on the street, only six (!) Passers-by out of a hundred answered that the first person in space was the Russian Yuri Gagarin. And this is quite understandable, since in American schools they do not talk about the first man in space.

    And, from the point of view of fostering patriotism, they are doing everything right. People should be proud of their country, and not repent for or without reason.

      Tereshkova was ahead of the American by several hours and she refused the flight, because she wanted to be the first
      So we were told by the officers who came there to serve immediately after school.

    Musk is twice the contagion. He did not even honor Rogozin with a visit, and in one fell swoop immediately set a bunch of records with the participation of women in orbital flight: the youngest of the people in orbit, half of the crew are women, well, the same one, which is young - the first one with a prosthesis (some bone has been replaced on her prosthesis during cancer rehabilitation).
    Here, the roots of ancestors were clearly cut through the Mask, whose descendants did not wash off the ocean and showed a steady tendency to demonstrate achievements for the holidays. hi

      What do you mean "not very"? We have had 66 successful launches in a row since 2018.

      And the ships start regularly, like clockwork. Tomorrow is the next launch of the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft, and the crew of the spacecraft includes both professional cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, who will remain on the ISS for six months as a member of the station's crew, and space flight participants, i.e. passengers - a film crew consisting of director Klim Shipenko and actress Yulia Peresild, who passed a strict selection for the flight under an accelerated training program for future civilian space crew specialists.



      In addition, the next spacecraft, cargo and manned, are in full swing preparing for launch at Baikonur this year:



      We have more than 10 launches by the end of the year. These include a new module for the ISS, communication and navigation spacecraft, test launches of new space rockets.

    Keldysh and Tikhonravov, together with Korolev, when the first satellite was launched, could not even imagine that on Vostochny one could steal billions from space exploration. Rogozin had nothing to do with it, he did not know. And his entourage did not receive kickbacks. People are honest. And billions of rubles - the enemies stole

          Obama, however, will not stop being a Negro because of this, and the billions "missing" in the East will not return to the state budget. And even Rogozin's "face" will not become narrower from the sanctions against me.

            Valery, what are you lying ... They didn’t steal anything on Vostochny. All the extra money went to the budget. Komarov, the main person involved in the criminal case, said "we didn't steal a dime, everything went to charity."

              The topic of embezzlement during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome was raised last Monday by Russian President Vladimir Putin. At a meeting with members of the government, he demanded from officials not to allow misuse of funds when purchasing machinery and equipment for the implementation of national projects, as was the case during the construction of the cosmodrome.

By the way, they called me from the State Department (Psaki), as a refugee from Africa, they are able to accept you, only one condition - do not take penguins from the Arctic with you. Jane Psaki is very concerned about this. You will expose the front of the fight against insidious Russia if you take the penguins from Australia

                      The Germans are much more effective in this. They managed to turn the threat of exposure of the disposal of several hundred thousand thin bodies in Auschwitz into increased yields from the surrounding fields and even calculate these figures.

I don't even believe in a single version of their Jewish God - either the basic texts, the New Testament "detective", or the records of the sayings of the illiterate merchant Mahmud are too fabulous.
