Twentynet'60s-W

Venera one
Mission Venus
Yuri Gagarin on Vostok
First man in Space.
Mars One
First woman
Valentina Tereshkova.
In space.
Leonev’s ten-minute walk in space.
An unmanned Soviet Craft Luna Nine
Soft landing
On moon
The first probe in lunar orbit
The first unmanned rendezvous and docking
The soil samples brought to earth
Ram’s probe on to the moon
First and only daughter
Luna brought on earth
Exact date
Exact time.


Dr. Ram Mehta

Like that Space Odyssey movie so famous right around that time, full of references to outer space. Love how you got in a mention of your cute daughter named LUna. Congrats on your win,Dr. Ram.

There were so many events that stood out in the '60s, Dr. Ram, that I tend to forget the marvels of space exploration that you described so well here! Excellent historical write. Wishing you success in sweet Nette's contest. Love, Carolyn
