Cosmonaut Valeri Rozhdestvensky born 1939


Valeri Rozhdestvensky, born February 13, 1939 Leningrad, Soviet Union, went into space aboard Soyuz 23.  It was his only trip into space, but considering the problems he and Commander Vyacheslav Zudov encountered during their disastrous trip, one cannot blame him.  Fortunately, he and Zudov survived their ordeal.

Rozhdestvensky passed away in August 2011 at the age of 72.
