What else could a man do but cry with rage?!
The most interesting thing is how flat the hierarchy apparently was. Was a modern astronaut just mingle with the prime minister and try to muscle in on a launch?
- wcoenen 6y agoAccording to the article, Gagarin's 10 page memo never even made it up the chain to Brezhnev, because all the people in between didn't want to bring bad news. How is that a flat hierarchy?
- ggm 6y agoHow many layers between Neil Armstrong and LBJ?

I'm just taking a guess here, lol, based on Armstrong's military rank (Lieutenant (junior grade)) and how many ranks are between him and the president (above the Admiral), based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:United_States_uniformed_services_comparative_ranks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:United_States_uniform...
