[FPSPACE] alle kosmonautika

[Jakob Terweij]

Yeterday I was at the opening of the allee Kosmonavtika in Moscow near VDNH.
Alle guests gathered around 1 o clock at the premises of the House  
museum of SP. There more than 20 kosmonauts get to gether.
After 1 hour the big Tsaika limusines came in front of the gate.  
Tereskova , Gorbatko and Volynov were sitting in the first car a  
cabriolet.
After that 3 more tsaika's with old cosmonauts came in front . all the  
rest had to sit in a bus. I sat next to Treshov. On the way to the  
alee Kosmonavtika along the road were many childrens singing and  
waving flags like "we were the first" and "long live cosmos"
In the middle of the new allee there is a new monument of SP 4 m high   
Tereskova the mair Lyshkov and Boris tsertok cut the ribbon.
And than off course the monument did not unfold. The blanket got stuck  
near the head  and  after a few minutes and many attempts finally we  
could see SP in full.
The mair held a big speech saying that he was a good guy etc etc.
The alle has changed , the monument of Tsiolkovski has been cleaned  
and repaired . There are now entances(or excits) from the museum under  
it. The museum is not yet open but I heard the date 4 october.
If you stand in front of Tsiolkovski on the left you now have Korolov  
and the old Glushko and Keldisch busts. On the right you have the old  
busts of the kosmonauts. In the middle there is       a global  
monument of the solar system.
It was nic to see all the old cosmonauts again. Some are very old now.
So thats all for now from Korolov.
