The Earth Is Blue... How Wonderful. It

When They Saw Me In My Space Suit And The Parachute Dragging Alongside As I Walked, They Started To Back Away In Fear. I Told Them, Don’t Be Afraid, I Am A Soviet Like You, Who Has Descended From Space And I Must Find A Telephone To Call Moscow!

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.

Rays Were Blazing Through The Atmosphere Of The Earth, The Horizon Became Bright Orange, Gradually Passing Into All The Colors Of The Rainbow: From Light Blue To Dark Blue, To Violet And Then To Black. What An Indescribable Gamut Of Colors! Just Like The Paintings Of The Artist Nicholas Roerich.

What Beauty. I Saw Clouds And Their Light Shadows On The Distant Dear Earth.... The Water Looked Like Darkish, Slightly Gleaming Spots.... When I Watched The Horizon, I Saw The Abrupt, Contrasting Transition From The Earth's Light-colored Surface To The Absolutely Black Sky. I Enjoyed The Rich Color Spectrum Of The Earth. It Is Surrounded By A Light Blue Aureole That Gradually Darkens, Becoming Turquiose, Dark Blue, Violet, And Finally Coal Black.

The Earth Is Blue... How Wonderful. It Is Amazing
