J’ai lu hier que gagarine s’était en fait éjecté avant l’atterrissage, mais que ce fait avait été caché , pour ne pas porter préjudice à la course contre les USA. L’ouverture des archives l’aurait confirmé. Est ce vrai ?

- Once in orbit, Yuri Gagarin had no control over his spacecraft. Vostok’s reentry was controlled by a computer program sending radio commands to the space capsule. Although the controls were locked, a key had been placed in a sealed envelope in case an emergency situation made it necessary for Gagarin to take control. As was planned, Cosmonaut Gagarin ejected after reentry into Earth’s atmosphere and landed by parachute.
