The first death on a space mishap

      Have you ever been curious of what the space really looks out there? Obviously, we have seen the pictures already based upon the astronauts/cosmonauts who have been there capturing the image of the heavenly bodies out there. It is so much wonderful seeing the wonders of nature up above or all around us. For my today’s topic, it would have to do with the space history. Particularly in the mission that has gained a lot of attention around the world because of it’s marvelous explorations in it. But behind this wonders, there should one tragic accident that started the entire exploration made it more costly and a sort of gamble towards space people’s lives.

   I’m talking about the first death that ever happened in space exploration history. It’s the death of Mr. Vladimir Komarov of the Soviet Union. It happened at about April 24, 1967, it was so tragic that even me including me a reader, could hardly imagine the painful death of Mr. Komarov almost 49 years ago today. it happened when his landing capsule hit the earth at a very fast speed. The speed is estimated to be about several hundred miles per hour. It is unbelievable how a human would feel in such plunging speed upon it’s death during that time. It is a matter of waiting for your own self to face death that fast. It is considered to be the first ever death on a space craft accident, and probably the most devastating one.

  There’s a saying where in we would say, no pain no gain. But to this one, it would serve this event as a learning experience to all of us, that for every success that we do, there’s always a risk no matter what happen. It’s life, we must gamble to gain success, knowledge and fame, we must do anything inorder for us to be that productive to our fellow men.  Today, is the birthday of Mr. Vladimir Komarov. He was born on March 16, 1927, if he was alive he would be 89 years old. He died of the spacecraft accident at age 40.

The death of Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan)

    As a child we always want to be entertained in some other ways. We even find ways just to keep ourselves satisfied no matter what the consequence it is. For this time, I would like to share to you some of the historic character that made children be entertained, even though it is partly scary. His name was Jackie Coogan, who played the role as Uncle Fester in the T.V series. The younger generation has admired this role as part of the Addams family, which originally played by Jackie Coogan in 1964. Before it came into animation, it is first viewed as live series.

     Born as John Leslie Coogan on October 26, 1914,was hugely known as a successful child star in the 1930’s. During this time, the silent movie named “The Kid” was his first career movie together with the ever famous Charlie Chaplin. He was so famous that time that he earned an estimated amount of  $3 to $4 million dollars. Because of this, his stepfather and mother tried to manipulate the earnings of the child according to some sources. This made Mr. Coogan filed a case against them, which later resulted into the provocation in the state of California into its first known legal protection of child earnings. This is widely called as Coogan Act or the Coogan Law. Until such time in the 1964, he was assigned to play the role Uncle Fester of the Addams family which was viewed in ABC channel from 1964-1966. This was the highlight of his later career. He also appeared as guest on television and also in other films.

    In the later year of his life he has experienced some health problems, particularly on heart and kidney issues. Until such day on March 1, 1984, exactly 32 years ago today, he died of a heart failure. Whether we know Mr. Coogan or not, he still contributes the original beauty of an animated series which is known by younger generations now, without his presence, the animated series would have a missing piece that resembles the picture as a whole. He was 69 years old.
