They say that as we get older, the memory returns. This is so - I remember Vladimir Dzhanibekov back then, after his first flight in 1978 (I do not know the names of all the cosmonauts, but somehow he remembers them).
True, now that the "Salute-7" is more memorable.
Five space flight, 145 days without gravity, two spaceships. Vladimir Dzhanibekov is a legend of Russian cosmonautics, twice the Hero of the Soviet Union, has many awards and other titles. Hero "battle for" Salute ", one of two astronauts who saved space stations.
But the fact that he is the commander of the crew, who flew Svetlana Savitskaya, I forgot
Have you heard about the effects of Dzhanibekov? It consists of the strange behavior of a rotating body that flies without gravity. Like many other scientific discoveries, it was discovered by accident, when Dzhanibekov (astronauts) turned "lambs" - special beans with ears, fixing the cargo that arrived in orbit.
And about the paintings written by Vladimir Dzhanibekov?
