50 years of Space Travel....

Apr 14, 2011 01:14

Yesterday was 50 years since Yuri Gagarin first flew into space.

I loved a quote he said on this programme I was watching:

He said:  "There is no god, I was up there, I didn't see him"....

Buzz Auldrin had communion on the moon....

I prefer Gagarin....

Though how much is science more important than anything else....

I think the issue is in what their quotes conveyed. While I don't buy into them, the moon landing team reading the passages they did as the Earth rose over the moon's horizon conveyed a feeling of "LOOK HOW AMAZING ALL OF THIS IS." For me, at least. Meanwhile, Gagarin's quote, to me, conveys a feeling of "IT WAS EMPTY AND BLEAK UP THERE."

So while I understand your issues with the difference in their quotes, that's just how the two of them feel to me. o_O
