One of the last things Yuri Gagarin did before making his pioneering voyage into space 50 years ago was make sure he had enough sausage to last him on the trip back home to Moscow.
One of Korolyov's biggest worries appeared to be that the would-be hero had enough to eat once he touched down on Earth.
"There in the flap you have dinner, supper and breakfast," the father of the Soviet rocket programme told Gagarin by radio as the clock ticked down.
"Got it," Gagarin replied.
"You've got sausage, candy and jam to go with the tea," Korolyov went on. "Sixty-three pieces – you'll get fat! When you get back today, eat everything right away."
Gagarin joked back: "The main thing is that there is sausage – to go with the moonshine."
Korolyov appeared to take the joke in stride.
"Damn. This thing is recording everything, the -------," the scientist said in reference to the relay recorders.
"I see Earth! It is so beautiful!"
The world's first spaceship, Vostok, with a man on board, was launched into orbit from the Soviet Union on 12 April 1961. The pilot space-navigator of the satellite-spaceship Vostok is a citizen of the USSR, Flight Major Yuri Gagarin.
"Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!"
??????? ????? ? ???????-????????, ? ??????, ??? ????????? ???? ???????. ????, ????? ??????? ? ??????????? ??? ???????, ? ?? ????????? ??!
"I could have gone on flying through space forever."
"The sensation of weightlessness feels nice."
Gagarin reported to ground control at one point. "Everything is swimming."
"I looked and looked but I didn't see God."
As quoted in To Rise from Earth (1996) by Wayne Lee
"I enjoyed the rich color spectrum of the earth. It is surrounded by a light blue aureole that gradually darkens, becoming turquiose, dark blue, violet, and finally coal black."
As quoted in Earth's Aura (1977) by Louise B. Young
