Very sad news. Alexei Gubarev was also the commander of Soyuz 28 with the first czechoslovak cosmonaut Vladimir Remek on board. That made him special to both our nations.RIP Mr. Gubarev. |

Don't forget he might have looped around the Moon in a 'Zond' if things had worked for the Soviets. RIP. |

The loss of another pioneering cosmonaut. Alexei Gubarev seemed like a tough Soviet military man. He was sharp minded til the end and was a no nonsense kind of person, but could be kind hearted. He must have endured a lot over a long and full career. He was a regular at Cosmonautics Day events and his presence will be much missed. He looked very well a couple of years ago, the last time I saw him. Like a regular pensioner from a by gone era perhaps struggling to comprehend all the changes of modern Russian society. Sincerest condolences to his family. |
