...manned flight into space in 1969, an obstacle which no expenditure can overcome: the sun. The end of this decade will be a maximum in the sun's eleven year cycle of activity. At unpredictable times during the solar cycle's peak, cataclysmic eruptions on the sun eject clouds of deadly high-energy particles deep into space. The chance of such an event occuring during a one-week lunar journey in 1969 will probably be about one to three, odds on which the U.S. has neither the right nor the wish to risk men's lives.

He had a choice, he said later, of riding his capsule all the way to earth, or of parachuting out once he dropped low enough. He chose to eject from the Vostok and use his chute, with which he drifted into a plowed field some 460 miles from Moscow, remarkably close to the spot where Yuri Gagarin landed...
