They say everything started with the curiosity of a boy, wearing wings made of feathers of all sizes together with wax, was free and flew so high that tried to reach the sun. The legend of Icarus and Daedalus is recognised as the first record of a flight, “astronaut” and is also recorded as the story of the first human attempt to know more of those heavenly bodies that guard our world.
Since those days of myths and legends the man continued dreaming of overcoming natural limits, reflecting those desires in painting and literature, arts that became the pillars of the scientific awakening, which today is a reality.
During the development of astronautics, a country that has shown greater presence and perhaps most significant achievements obtained is Russia. Remember that it was the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin the first man to travel into outer space. That is why part of the history of human conquest of space also belongs to the history of this European country, reason enough for the birth of Cosmonauts Memorial Museum.
