The Earth Is Blue... How Wonderful. It

I Could Have Gone On Flying Through Space Forever.

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.

Circling The Earth In The Orbital Spaceship I Marvelled At The Beauty Of Our Planet. People Of The World!! Let Us Safeguard And Enhance This Beauty-not Destroy It

I Saw For The First Time The Earth's Shape. I Could Easily See The Shores Of Continents, Islands, Great Rivers, Folds Of The Terrain, Large Bodies Of Water. The Horizon Is Dark Blue, Smoothly Turning To Black. . . The Feelings Which Filled Me I Can Express With One Word-joy.

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