Valentina Tereshkova was born in a village in central Russia on 6 March 1937. Her father was a tractor driver. At the age of eight, she began her schooling but did not enjoy it much. She left school within a few years. Afterwards, she completed her education through distance learning. She and her mother worked in a textile plant. She became interested in parachuting from a young age and trained in skydiving at the local Aeroclub, making her first jump at age 22 on 21 May 1959. At that time, she was employed as a textile worker in a local factory. It was her expertise in skydiving that led to her selection as a cosmonaut.

After the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to travel to outer space in April 1961, the Soviet Union decided to send a woman into space. On 16 February 1962, Valentina Tereshkova was selected for this project. Tereshkova had to undergo a series of training that included weightless flights, isolation tests, centrifuge tests, rocket theory, spacecraft engineering, 120 parachute jumps and pilot training in MiG-15UTI jet fighters. Since the successful launch of the spacecraft Vostok-5 on 14 June 1963, Tereshkova began preparing for her flight. On the morning of 16 June 1963, Tereshkova and her backup cosmonaut Solovyova were dressed in space suits and taken to the launch pad by bus. After completing her communication and life support checks, she was sealed inside Vostok-6. Finishing a two-hour countdown, Vostok-6 launched faultlessly.

After the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first human being to travel to outer space in April 1961, the Soviet Union decided to send a woman into space. On 16 February 1962, "proletarian" Valentina Tereshkova was selected for this project. Tereshkova had to undergo a series of training that included weightless flights, isolation tests, centrifuge tests, rocket theory, spacecraft engineering, 120 parachute jumps and pilot training in MiG-15UTI jet fighters.

He came every day and cut my wood and did small helpful favors and stayed to talk. The days had become cold, and often I let him come inside the cabin. He would lie on the floor in front of the fire, with one arm across the pointer, and they would both doze and wait quietly for me. Other days they ran with a common ecstasy through the laurel, and he brought me back vermilion maple leaves, and chestnut boughs dripping with imperial yellow. I was ready to go.
I said to him, "You have been my friend, Jerry. I shall often think of you and miss you. Pat will miss you too. I am leaving tomorrow."
He did not answer........ and I watched him go in silence up the hill.

I expected him the next day, but he did not come....... I closed the cabin and started the car ... I stopped by the orphanage and left the cabin key and money....... with Miss Clark. "And will you call Jerry for me to say goodbye to him?"

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania...

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
