«Мы потеряли настоящего героя»: Гитарист группы Queen опубликовал в Сети фото Алексея Леонова с Нилом Армстронгом

Брайан Мэй назвал советского космонавта «совершенным человеком»

Гитарист легендарной группы Queen Брайан Мэй опубликовал в инстаграм фото советского космонавта Алексея Леонова. На снимке Леонов в компании другой легенды космической отрасли, Нила Армстронга. Музыкант выразил соболезнования по случаю кончины космонавта. Напомним, Алексей Леонов умер на 86 году жизни в Москве 11 октября. Последние годы он сражался с серьезной болезнью.

- Печальные новости - мы потеряли настоящего героя сегодня. Алексей Леонов был первым человеком, который был открытом космосе. Он был бы первым человеком на Луне, если бы русские не потеряли свой импульс в Космической гонке, - написал гитарист группы в инстаграм.

Sad news - we lost a true hero today. Alexei Leonov was the first man to walk in space, and would have been the first man on Moon if the Russians had not lost their momentum in the Space Race. Alexei was a wonderfully complete Human Being - scientist, artist and leader. Thanks to STARMUS I was privileged to be in his company many times over the past few years. He was funny, and delightfully modest about his achievements. Always had time to draw pictures, to interact with children, and share his experiences. Here you see him through the lenses of my own stereo camera speaking at Starmus, and sharing a bite and a chat with the extraordinary Neil Armstrong - conquerer of the Moon. If you then swipe, you can see the young Alexei in his space suit before embarking on that world-beating 1965 Voshtok 2 Mission, then captured by a static camera actually during his space walk (which nearly killed him when his suit inflated so much that he couldn t squeeze back inside the craft). Then in mono you can see me on a panel with these two amazing men inside the dome of the giant GTC telescope in La Palma, and, in Tenerife, watching a STARMUS lecture together in 2014. Swipe some more to see the stereos in cross-eyed format. There are more pictures of these wonderful guys in our own book MISSION MOON 3-D. Alexei is already sadly missed - he was one of a kind and we are all richer for his life on Earth. RIP. Bri

Брайан Мэй рассказал о нескольких встречах с Леоновым и рассказал, каким он запомнил советского космонавта.

- Алексей был удивительно совершенным человеком - ученым, художником и лидером, - написал Мэй. - Он был забавен и восхитительно скромен в своих достижениях. Всегда успевал рисовать картинки, общаться с детьми и делиться своим опытом.

Снимки гитарист сделал сам, и долгие годы хранил редкие кадры в своем архиве. Во время презентации гигантского телескопа GTC в Ла-Пальма Брайан Мэй сфотографировался с Леоновым.

- Алексей он был единственным в своем роде, - написал музыкант. – Покойся с миром.

В комментариях в этому посту много сообщений от русскоязычных пользователей. Брайана Мэя поблагодарили за добрые слова и признали, что эта потеря действительно большая для России.
