Happy birthday, Soyuz 21 cosmonaut Vitaly Zholobov!


Vitaly Zholobov, born June 18, 1937 in the former Soviet Union, went into space once aboard Soyuz 21. He and fellow cosmonaut Boris Volynov spent 49 days aboard Salyut 5.  Their original two-month stay was cut short when a noxious odor was detected on board. 

Zholobov never went into space again.
