What is an astronaut?

The word comes from the Greek, “astron”, meaning “star” and “nautes”, meaning “sailor”. Astronauts are men and women who pilot, navigate and fly in spaceships. Russian “star-sailor” are called cosmonauts, “cosmos” being the Greek for “universe”. The first space flight was made in 1961 by the Russian Yuri Gagarin. It lasted for 108 minutes.

The first woman in space was also Russian, Valentina Tereshkova. In 1963, her flight lasted almost 3 days. And the first “space walk” was made by another Russian, Aleksey Leonov, in 1965.
