60 years ago there were no space programs, because we did not have the technology to
travel to space. Today there are space shuttles, space stations and even space tourists.
How did it start?
In the 90s, space programs from different countries began to work together. The result was
International Space Station, a space city the size of a football field. First part
The station was launched in November 1998.
In 2000 Denis Tito became the first tourist in space when he paid 10 million to visit
the space station in 2001. Two years later, the first man-made object Mars Rover
landed on Mars. Scientists are already planning the first human mission to Mars.
1971, people saw the first space station "Salyut 1" Koloraya flew into space. Voyager
1 and 2 also began their journey to find out about the planets in the solar system and look for a new one
a life. Both Voyagers carry pictures, natural sounds and music from the ground.
The race into space began in 1957 with the satellite "Sputnik 1", "Sputnik 1" was less than 1 meter in
length, and was in space for three weeks. It was the first satellite to orbit the Earth.
After the satellite, the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, came. His ship "Vostok 1" flew over
Earth only once. Other astronauts flew into space the following year, but it took 8 years to complete
the next big step. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 arrived at 1.y. Neil Armstrong became the first
the man who walked on the moon.
The Dombra
The dombra is a beautiful string instrument. They called it the queen of Kazakh instruments. It's got a pear-shaped wooden body with a long neck and two strings. Traditionally people made the strings from sinew but today we are using only nylon ones. The dombra is an instrument with a long history. Many Kazakh families have at least one person who can play it. A man usually play on dombra on its own or use it to accompany traditional songs. It sounds great as part of band, too. Some bands even use electric dombras to create music.
The Tin Whistle.
The tin whistle is a traditional Irish wind instrument that looks like a small flute. Today people make it from a long narrow brass tube with six holes and a plastic mouthpiece. Irish people have played the tin whistle since ancient times and it is one of the most popular instruments in Irish traditional music. We also call it the penny* whistle because in the past many beggars played it in the streets for money. Today, many musicians play it in many styles of music. The theme song of the 1997 film Titanic, 'My Heart Will Go On', features an Irish tin whistle.
