Abstract
The ambition of man to become winged and free himself from the bonds of the earth is not a contemporary phenomenon. This ambition has been preceded by the ancient Greek myth of Daedalus and Icaros. The story of Icaros showed that he symbolized man’s first step in conquering infinite space. The work and the missions of cosmonauts or astronauts will stand out in history as the most daring human contribution to science and technology.
