      Understandable. Dude was the first, I’m sure his odds at the time warranted a few shots.

        His odds were good,actually ; despite the near-constant rumours around the USSR space program, Korolev did his best to make sure the launch was safe as it could get.

          Rest assured, I’m in agreement. I’m just joking that the dude who was the first to use an explosion to leave the planet might have some nerves that needed calming.

      Yes, but he’s also Russian which disqualifies this fact as extraordinary.
