To Ahoerstemeier: The reason I prefer to say [[Russian language|Russian]] instead of [[Cyrillic]] is that the same name may be spelled differently among the various Cyrillic alphabets. For instance, the family name Волынов could not be spelled that way in the Ukrainian cyrillic alphabet because it does not have the letter "ы". The most accurate link to use is probably Cyrillic alphabet#Cyrillic alphabet for Russian, or the Ukrainian equivalent link for Ukrainian names. I don't really care either way but thought I would explain the change. —Fleminra 05:27, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication

Currently P1 & P4 of her later career have quite a lot of repetition. --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Very poorly worded?

"...is second in importance in Russian space history only to Yuri Gagarin and Alexei Leonov." Should this be fixed? - --Mmathu 05:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Out of limelight

May be she is now (2006), but she is/was the first female specie ever reaching outer-space of our planet, that achievement is far more important that many people think today. There will be space centers, space ports, space academies and cities in the new worlds (planets,moons) named after her in the future. In fact if you live and reading this in say year 2200 then you probably consider her achievement much more important then most of important things that anyone did in the 20th century. I hardly expect anybody will ever want to name a space port on Mars after any of our current politicians.

[edit] 16 June

Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space on the 16th of June, I remember as the 16th is my Birthday. Dfrg.msc ^{1 . 2 . 3} 10:21, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mass Effect

Mass Effect, a Role playing game by Bioware, has a planet cluster called "Tereshkova" it is located in the Armstrong Nebula. There is also a cluster called "Gragarin (possible SP?)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.242.69 (talk) 23:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Woman in Space

Do you give any credence to this site [1] or is it just the work of cranks/pranksters? Note the section about the "first woman in space." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.50.56.4 (talk) 23:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
