Even if this extra twist does not come off, the duo flight once again proves that Russia is at least two years ahead of the U.S. in space, and moreover, knows how to woo the world's females. Stated purpose of the Valery-Valentina feat: to study the impact of space...
...physical checks on the Kearsarge, Gordon Cooper displayed a momentary dizziness upon stepping out onto the deck after 34 hours and 20 minutes of weightless flight through 22 orbits-a space trip surpassed only by the 64-and 48-orbit tandem missions of Soviet Cosmonauts Andrian Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich last August.
