Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated January 10, 1958: Space rockets

Prof. Ivan Bardin, Vice-President of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and President of the Russian Committee for the International Geophysical year, told PTI in an interview in Madras on January 8 that it would be very difficult for Russia just now to launch a manned rocket into the space, as it involved lot of experiments and preparations. Prof. Bardin, leading his country’s delegation of scientists to the Indian Science Congress, was commenting on Western reports that Russia had launched a manned rocket into space. Prof. Bardin made it clear that they would have to carry out “high preparations” before sending rockets into space with man which was very difficult. They would first have to find out how the animals sent in rockets behaved and how they could be got back.
