Andrian Nikola'ev Dead
 Just found out that Andrian Nikolayev died today aged 74. Born on September 5, 1929, in the Chuvash Autonomous Republic, Nikolayev became a cosmonaut in 1960. He spent over 204 hours in space on two spaceflights. Nikolayev made his first spaceflight in 1962, aboard Vostok 3. He set an endurance record at the time, spending 4 days in space. In 1970, Nikolayev flew aboard Soyuz 9. He achieved the rank of Major General.

King George V, Flanders, 1922 |
