Are you not afraid to face the night alone in a deserted environment? Of course I am afraid, this is human instinct. But now we can fall asleep peacefully every night because someone has driven away the unknown for us. Not everyone is famous, not everyone has extraordinary ability and will, but the first step they took for mankind is still destined to profoundly change the course of our entire civilization.
Recently, I read a few articles on the difficulties in space missions at the Earth Knowledge Bureau. The articles only focused on two topics-how astronauts eat and bathe. Unexpectedly, the most difficult thing to overcome in space missions is not the common dangers in movies. The second is the two most common things we have on Earth. This is still the situation when human aerospace technology has developed to the current level. It is conceivable that in the 1950s and 1960s at the beginning of manned spaceflight, there were more difficulties that we cannot imagine now that pioneers must face.
This film takes the U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony as the background and tells the story of Soviet astronaut Alexei Leonov’s first spacewalk "Ascension 2" mission in 1965. In addition to the first human spacewalk we are familiar with, in the movie, the Soviet Union also completed the first human space capsule decompression in this mission, the first manual opening and closing of the door, the first blasting space capsule separation, and the first manual manual return. Afterwards, what we extolled was the feat of the astronauts completing the mission, but we never thought that behind the feat, two astronauts passed by death three times, one was hypoxia, one was oxygen poisoning, and the other was the severe cold of Siberia. .
After watching the movie, the most emotional thing is that when we lamented the aerospace feats of the motherland today, when we were proud of the high efficiency and low casualty rate of the motherland's aerospace industry, we thought that we should also thank the United States and the Soviet Union for all these achievements. It was their space pioneer who faced danger and even death for us first, and we could fly faster or even farther because we stood on the shoulders of giants.
The scene I was most impressed by the movie was Leonov opening the hatch and looking down at the earth in a vacuum unobstructed for the first time. As a photographer, I know whether there is any occlusion on the vision, even if the occlusion is clean and transparent glass. In the movie, Leonov slowly pulled off the blackout glasses, and the moment he opened his eyes, the excitement could not be restrained in his voice, "Dawn, this is Almaz No. 2, I am on the edge of the airlock, and I feel very good! I saw the clouds and the sea right below, and the whole Caucasus... is going by soon! I saw the sky, I saw the land, and the Volga River is at the bottom right..." Regardless of whether the original intention of the Soviet Union to enter spaceflight is pure or not, it is true. For the first time in history, mankind was sent to the boundless outer space without the constraints of gravity. That kind of unfettered freedom is the starting point for us to rush to a wider world.
Although the Soviet Union has become history as a political entity, it has never been defeated in the aerospace industry, and the scientific research achievements it has left for mankind are indelible. This perseverance and liberalization of politics may be a kind of stubbornness, but when it is used for aerospace, it is the most continuous and powerful driving force for scientific research!
Wonderful, thanks to the increasingly open and confident Russia for us to review the achievements of its predecessors, the quality is far better than that of Hollywood science fiction, recommended, not collected.
