Not at all. Sputnik created the space race...which Russia eventually lost,
but you won't find a single yankee soul who knows who Tereshkova was.


Want to place a bet on that?
She was Gargarin's wife. Oh, and she was the first girl cosmonaut.

Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired

She married Andrian Nikolayev, another Soviet cosmonaut, not Gagarain.

I always had the sneaking suspicion that their marrying and having
children was part of the Soviet space research programme. ISTR that it
happened fairly soon after their flights.
