I myself respect every grazy bastard how has/had guts to go space in the name of progres and sience.

Крут. Рад, что не только я вспомнил об этом празднике сегодня :>

Amazing ! even if you use the face/earth for base, it looks great, cheers.

Как можно даже подумать назвать "ватником" за такую замечательную работу? Получилось потрясающе, от души.

Найдутся идиоты.

Есть к сожалению такие ...

Considering he jumped into the cheapest rocket ever built, survived, and became a pioneer in space aeronautics. I applaud him, plus the Soviets always trumped us in space x.x

I got a boner from this, thanks comrade! Fap-fap-fap.
<span>Если бы я был на месте Гагарина, и знал бы, во что превратят СССР, я бы из космоса не возвращался. Остался бы там жить.</span></button>

А как же колхоз?
И чёрт побери, вид хороший, но жрать в космосе нечего.

The Roscosmos State Corporation and NASA work together these days in harmony even...soooo I literally would not understand why anyone would have an issue with this...

#1 this is badass!
#2 Please do more of these in the future it really shows how versatile you are when it comes to art, this really shows that.

I'll do! and thank you.

Вау! Вот это да о.о
Шикарная работа, серьезно.

Спасибо)

I wish more people appreciated the Russian achievements in space as much as the American ones

Actually American also have some good base and knowledge, just i wish that they with Roscosmos will work close, they as one will have very big power, and future for us world.

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

— Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut

Once during the mission I was asked by ground control what I could see. "What do I see?" I replied. "Half a world to the left, half a world to the right, I can see it all. The Earth is so small."

— Vitali Sevastyanov

I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of 100,000 miles their outlook could be fundamentally changed. That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or Communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied.

— Michael Collins, Gemini 10 & Apollo 11 astronaut

This is really good.

Yup. And then there's my all-time favorite quote...

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

---Carl Sagan

Space travel and exploration has always fascinated me. To me, it doesn't matter what country you launch from; once you see Earth from beyond itself, you realize the concept of countries and nations are artificial constructs, meaningless to the planet, meaningless to time. They're artificial boundaries, but if you look at Earth from orbit, all those lines you see on gloves and maps dividing areas of land from one another are rather obviously missing...

Wow, this is awesome. Excellent work.

Everyone loves communism until it comes after them, which it always does.
