A historic step
Fifty years ago, on 18 March 1965, Soviet astronaut Alexei Leonov took the first space walk.
Listen to Rob and Neil describing the struggles of that groundbreaking space mission whilst explaining some related vocabulary.

По приведенной им ссылке можно добраться и до основного сайта Космического Агентства и, в частности, до раздела "История НАСА".
Хотелось бы дать прямую ссылку на рассказ о первой американской женщине-астронавте Салли Райд:
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/sally-ride ... n-in-space
там же абзац о Валентине Терешковой (оказывается, буквально неделю назад мы - если бы вспомнили - могли бы отметить 55-летие ее полета:Очень простой язык: даже А2 без особого труда потянет, по-моему - был бы интерес к теме.СпойлерПоказать(для тех, кому по тем или иным причинам недоступна ссылка)
...Ride’s launch on STS-7 occurred almost to the day of the 20th anniversary of the launch of the first woman in space, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina V. Tereshkova. After the successful flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space in April 1961, Soviet Chief Designer Sergey Korolyov had the idea of flying a woman in space. To find a suitable candidate, he looked outside the field of military pilots. Although piloting was not a requirement for the female candidates (the Vostok spaceship was more or less automated), parachuting was, because after reentry Vostok cosmonauts ejected from the capsule and parachuted to the ground separately. About 400 female candidates initially were screened and 40 were called to Moscow to undergo interviews and medical and other tests. Valentina Tereshkova was one of five women selected on Feb. 16, 1962.
Tereshkova launched into space June 16, 1963, aboard Vostok-6 using the call sign Chaika (чайка), or Seagull. Her mission was part of the second group flight launched by the Soviets, with fellow cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky launching two days earlier aboard Vostok-5. During Tereshkova’s first orbit, the two spacecraft came within three miles of each other and the two cosmonauts talked to each other by radio, before drifting apart and completing their separate missions. She circled the Earth 48 times over three days and made a successful parachute landing June 19.
