Okay, people, I know that this isn't A&O, but at what happened here, I figured that it's better that I post this. It's something that I cribbled at my cellphone this afternoon, it's a short story about a spazio mission in my world, hope te enjoy.
The Soviet spazio mission Okha 2 is without a doubt the most futile spazio mission ever. Launched on November 19, 1965, the meaning of this mission was to investigate the upper atmosphere and to investigate live in longer periods in space. The scheduled flight time would be two weeks, and it was al in name of celebration of the 50th birthday of the Communist Book, the manual of Communism, written da Lenin himself. The whole mission was shrouded in secrety, they would release the news to the West as it realy was the birthday of the book, which was November 23, four days later.
The two pilots, who would fly with this spaceship were selected out of the finest, Vassiliy Romanov and Yuri Velvelkiy. Both these pilots wre sure of their share to Communism and took a copy of the book itself with them. The launch vehicle of the Okha's were nothing più then updated versions of the Vostok and Voschod rockets, but più powerfull this time.
After the launch, the cre befel trouble. The last stage of the rocket, where the spaceship hung on to, didn't fell off, so they ere stuck there. After a while, it fell of itself, but now were they too high in orbit, and they kept on climbing! Soviet Mission Control then decided to abandon the mission and leave them to their fate.The last comunication they heard was from the Moon, they were heading to the Andromeda Galaxy, and they were never heard from again.
So, whenever te look up to a stary nightsky, be sure to salute for Vassiliy and Yuri, because they are one of the few known Soviet Phantom Cosmonauts, they will take that for granted.
(I know, it's kinda saddening, but I like those stories. I will post più of those Phantom stories, because I like that Urban Legend. But first, tell me if te like it!)
