    one thing that always stands out to me in this era of space flight is the difference in backgrounds
    Soviet cosmonauts were usually factory workers and other similar workers, whereas american astronauts were like, war criminals lol

    Couple things:

    1.Was soviet information just like, wrong, or did Valentina’s mission just make the enthusiasm for sending a woman to space nonexistent at NASA? Because the US didn’t send a woman to space until the 1980s

    2.this guy is fine, I guess. I’m always wary about his “fun facts” about the soviet union though, between the fact that he once called it an “evil empire” and has continuously praised el Salvador, both for their prison programs and crypto crap.

      The doctor that did NASA’s astronaut medical tests did the same tests on women pilots without NASA and held a press conference trying to create enthusiasm but it only worked on the Soviets.

      Oh don’t know anything about the guy, this is the only video I saw from him. Regarding NASA, it could very well be that NASA lost interest in sending a woman into space once they couldn’t market it as a first.
