The Earth Is Blue... How Wonderful. It

Nothing Will Stop Us. The Road To The Stars Is Steep And Dangerous. But We're Not Afraid . . . Space Flights Can't Be Stopped. This Isn't The Work Of One Man Or Even A Group Of Men. It Is A Historical Process Which Mankind Is Carrying Out In Accordance With The Natural Laws Of Human Development.

I Am Watching The Earth. The Visibility Is Good. I Feel Well And Cheerful. The Machine Is Functioning Normally.

To Be The First To Enter The Cosmos, To Engage, Single-handed, In An Unprecedented Duel With Nature-could One Dream Of Anything More?

I Could Have Gone On Flying Through Space Forever.

If All Those People Are Getting Wet To Welcome Me, Surely The Least I Can Do Is Get Wet Too!
