I was born in 1958 just as the modern space age started. The Russian Cosmonauts such as Yuri Gagarin and the Very Brilliant Sergei Korolev Russian Father of the space programme are and always should be held as Hero`s to the modern World ! Along with the wonderful achievements of the American astronaut programmes such as the Apollo Moon Landings their courage and bravery in pushing forward the boundaries of Humanitys Borders will Live on while the politics of Governments will fade into the background Noise of History !!! My Friends I as an Englishman Salute You !
