She became interested in parachuting from a young age, and ‘trained in skydiving at the local Aeroclub, making her first jump at age 22 on 21 May 1959. At that time she & was employed as a textile worker in a local factory. It, was her expertise in skydiving that led to her selection as a cosmonaut. After the flight of Yuri Gagarin (the first human being to travel to outer space in 1961), the Soviet Union decided to send a woman in space. On 168 February 1962, Tereshkova was selected for this project from among more than four hundred applicants.Tereshkova underwent a series of training that included weightlessness flights, rocket theory, space craft engineering, parachute jumps and pilot training in MIG- ISUTI fighters. Since the successful launch of the space craft ~Vostok-5 on 14 June 1963, Tereshkova began preparing for her own flight. On the morning of 16 June 1963, Tereshkova and her back-up cosmonaut Solovyova were dressed in space suits and taken to the Space shuttle launch pad by a bus. After completing her & communication and life support checks, she was. sealed inside Vostok-6. Finishing a two-hour countdown, & Vostok-6 launched faultlessly.
l am in a tiny steel cage attached to a motor cycle, stuttering & through traffic in Dhaka. In the last ten minutes we have moved forward may be three feet, inch by inch. Up ahead, the traffic is jammed so close together that pedestrians are climbing over pickup trucks and through empty rickshaws to cross the street. Two rows to my left is an ambulance, blue lights spinning uselessly. This is what the streets here look like from seven O’clock in the morning until ten O'clock at night. If you are rich, you experience it from the back seat of a car. If you are poor, you are in a rickshaw, breathing in the exhaust. I am sitting in the back of a CNG, a three wheeled motor cycle shaped like a slice of pie and covered with scrap metal. I am here working on a human .Tights project, but whenever I ask people in Dhaka what they think international organizations ‘should really be working on, they tell me about the traffic. Alleviating traffic Congestion is one of the major development challenges of ‘our time. Half the world’s population already lives in cities, and the United Nation estimates that the proportion will rise ‘to 70% by 2050. Dhaka, the world’s densest and fastest growing city, is a case study in how this problem got so bad and why it’s so difficult to solve.
