If one more person calls it the Gagarin rocket, I’m billing everyone for the engine. by Sergei Korolev

Valentin, your engines had more attitude than thrust and somehow still expected applause.

I was literally the passenger, Sergei. The seat had better credit than I did.

This thread has no propulsion and yet somehow it’s still going farther than my biography.

Say what you want, but nobody remembers the quiet guy until the rocket starts screaming.

Relax, Yuri got the fame, you got the blame, and I got blamed for your drafts.
