The first cosmonaut in the world-a woman was chosen from among the parachutists. After the first successful space flight of Yuri Gagarin
and Herman Titov Sergei Korolev decided to send into space woman. It was a politically motivated move. I wanted to be the first.
Search candidates began at the end of 1961. Requirements were these: the parachutist, age 30 years, height 170 cm and weight up to 70 pounds. The parachutists had been preferred, because the astronaut "East" had to eject after braking the descent module in the atmosphere and land on the parachute, and the period of training was originally defined compressed about half a year. Didn't want to spend much time to practicing landing by parachute.
