The way you showed the capsule hitting the ground stopped me cold. Also, thank you for not giving any mention to those fake recordings that purportedly captured Komarov's 'last words.' He deserves respect.
Hero of the soyuz programme. He was the first one to go through those mysterious paths, yet those tracks are lost forever. Nobody will ever know the exact details of the flight.
I have seen that photo of the open casket on the internet before, is that really an actual photo of his remains with the officials looking at him or is that just a photo of something else that has been used to act like an actual photo? I have been curious of that for some time now.
11:42 Some info for teh vid. My uncle, Vlad Mutin, was "Conscript #2" that died during the failed launch. They tried to cover it up by saying he fell out of the 5th story Hospital window.
9:25 This is not true. The capsule reached the ground but as the parachutes failed to deploy it reached the ground at 300 MPH. There was no destruct devise on the space craft to prevent landings outside Soviet Territories The US navy had plans to recover a Soyuz capsule in case an emergency landing was required at sea, the Soviet Army had planes to recover a US space craft should an emergency landing was required by NASA. Both sides had treaties in place to allow the return of their people to either side.
As I am not able to gather primary sources all of my information is taken from books/web pages/ articles. Because these materials may have inaccuracies and sometimes there is only one source talking about a particular event this incorrect information may sometimes slip through my review process. As soviet space history is a much smaller area of research vs American it is much more difficult or sometimes impossible to verify the accuracy of certain pieces of information. Thank you for this info you have provided
8:00 This was the purpose of the Sputnik 1 satellite. It had a carefully machined surface so engineers could actuality track it using the beeping radio signal. The Soviets even shared this information with the Americans and it was used in latter missions on both sides.
The Redstone Rocket, the US's first ICBM and the rocket used to launch the first 2 Americans into space started out as the V-3 the Rocket Hitler intended to use to strike the United States.
This man was a martyr. He showed the worked how the negligence of the Soviet union leads to terrible things. May he rest in peace, and I hope that he will never be forgotten as long as humanity reaches for the stars.

I love how you portrayed the accident from the ground, it brings a haunting new light to the tragedy
A tragic end for such a brave man

29:22 judging by shape, this may be his remains in the rubble
Thank you for telling this story with such grace.
RIP Comrade.
What parallels between this and the Challenger Shuttle, talking of time being pinched and warnings ignored?
In other words, shut up, we're going.
Imagine a world in which we were partners and friends with the Russian people for the last 60 years. The technology and commerce we could have shared.
Tragic. A brave man who refused to let others go in his place.
This is such a good video. Please make more like this!

That is the actual photo
Vladimir, the son of Michael. The brave cosmonaut. Rest in peace, brave soldier.

For historical context 27 January 1967 the Americans had suffered the loss of the Apollo 1 crew to a fire wile performing a test.
God Bless 💝❤️

Fly high, cosmonaut. Fly high.

Or, for Challenger and Columbia, it showed how "the negligence of the USA leads to terrible things".
Kormorev certainly could have used Vostock's ejection seat. Damn
'Mission commander '? He was by himself....
