I Feel Fine. How About You?

I Saw For The First Time The Earth's Shape. I Could Easily See The Shores Of Continents, Islands, Great Rivers, Folds Of The Terrain, Large Bodies Of Water. The Horizon Is Dark Blue, Smoothly Turning To Black. . . The Feelings Which Filled Me I Can Express With One Word-joy.

When I Orbited The Earth In A Spaceship, I Saw For The First Time How Beautiful Our Planet Is. Mankind, Let Us Preserve And Increase This Beauty, And Not Destroy It!

I See Earth! It Is So Beautiful.

When They Saw Me In My Space Suit And The Parachute Dragging Alongside As I Walked, They Started To Back Away In Fear. I Told Them, Don’t Be Afraid, I Am A Soviet Like You, Who Has Descended From Space And I Must Find A Telephone To Call Moscow!

Circling The Earth In The Orbital Spaceship I Marvelled At The Beauty Of Our Planet. People Of The World!! Let Us Safeguard And Enhance This Beauty-not Destroy It
