First woman could see this was an achievement for humankind, not just a country.

Жалко парня, умер так рано в 34 года ! Вся жизнь была ещё впереди !

[@ВалерийМатвеев-х4м]

И хорошо, что погиб. Не увидел всего кошмара конца 80-х. Не увидел 90-е. Не увидел, во что превратилась наша некогда великая страна. Хорошо, что не участвовал во всём этом. Хорошо, что не увидел, во что превратилась космическая программа. Хорошо, что не он предложил обнуление. Он останется на веки чистым и светлым человеком, не запятнанным политикой! Человеком, который приложил руку к триумфу советской страны и советского строя.

I forgot this was British news. Americans wouldn’t be that happy for him lol.

[@sunshineandwarmth]

An American in Germany at the time. Mostly everyone believed that, if they arrived, they'd never return alive. There was a lot of "God never intended ppl should go out into space."🤷‍♀️

Supposedly, the Soviet space program was planning to launch Yuri Gagarin on May1st,v1961 (for May Day), but Soviet leader Nikita Kruschev ordered the launch date moved up to April because he believed that America's Project Mercury would try to launch an a into space in late April.

[@trolleybus63]

@@elementone9454 американское правительство не раз устраивало геноцид и войны в других странах. Вьетнам, Ирак, Афганистан, Ливия, Югославия, Сирия. Применение ядерного оружия по гражданскому населению. Я не знаю, что тут ещё нужно навязывать. Они приезжают в страну на другом конце света и травят местное население хим. оружием. Это государство давно бы признали преступным и запретили иметь армию, если бы в мире решала не сила, а справедливость.

She wasn't wrong

[@baibhavbanjara2339]

Wow.

[@GagariinYang]

I'm Russian, but I understand why Gagarin became more popular worldwide than Armstrong. Not because of his achievements, both equally important, but because the USSR shared Gagarin's victory with the entire world. He visited poor countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa wearing simple clothes. Gagarin approached the people. There are schools, many outside Russia, named after him. On the other hand, NAZA restricted Armstrong's victory on the Moon as an American victory only!

[@toohdvaetihom7088]

Why the woman was speaking in American accent

[@JibbarJabbar]

She was speaking in Received Pronunciation. Very posh privately educated children are sent to boarding shool to learn how to speak "The Queen's English". It's not in the slightest bit American, it's "proper" English, but is only really spoken by the upper class, so you don't hear it very often.
