Rather than have to come up any stories for their removal from the prestigious program, they were simply deleted (which actually led to greater scrutiny of the program).
Both men later died before the fall of communism, owing to (unsurprisingly) alcohol related issues.
Moscow stepped in to get the boys out of any real trouble, but the cosmonauts were ordered to apologize to the local chief of police.
A pair of the cosmonauts refused, even after orders from the highest levels of the chain of command. Their disobedience got them booted from the program.
Most of that theory is born out of "missing" cosmonauts from official photographs, and the documented story is a lot less interesting.
Basically a few of the Soviet version of the Mercury 7 astronauts went out partying one night and ended up in trouble with local law enforcement...
That is not a quote I would want hanging out there in the ether for a job where you are almost certain to be fired at some point.
If Shorsey has taught me anything, it’s that this exchange was entirely on purpose.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.
He's speedrunning Kenny Rogers' facelift record.
That is a Gary Busey-ian performance.
"Russian Radial Engine" is a scary phrase, but what a stable gun platform that must be.
Also makes me the of the "Huey that shot down an AN-2" story.
I am irrationally angry at the Boeing logo on the box.
It's like a Stellantis logo on an AMC Pacer model kit. Technically correct but morally wrong.
I don’t think it’s low brow to ask questions of public officials on public grounds.

We will be your flag football coaching staff, Eastern. We gave you the MACcoon, we can give you Flag Scheme
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University announced today, April 16, the addition of women's flag football as an intercollegiate varsity sport, expanding its commitment to growth and opportunity within the Department of Athletics. The announcement follows the NCAA's January 2026 designation of women's flag football as an Emerging Sport for Women. With the addition, Eastern Michigan will sponsor 21 varsity programs, including 14 women's teams. Women's flag football joins recent additions, including lacrosse, which began competition in 2022-23, and women's lightweight rowing, set to begin in 2026-27. The Eagles will begin flag football competition in the spring of 2027. A national search for a head coach will begin immediately, with roster construction to follow.
Whoa! EMU is adding women’s flag football as a spring sport, joining the growing number of teams adding programs.
WE LOVE YOU MICK
It's the "live action bart simpson haircut" that's doing it for me.
So I assume in the post game McClellan is going to announce Larkin's having surgery? Or is that a locker room clean out media drop?
Gonna have a bad time
Let’s Go Red Wings
(I will not read too much into Larkin not playing. I will not read too much into Larkin not playing. I will not read too much into Larkin not playing.)
Kerry Carpenter's defense takes Tigers games from PG-13 to R.
There's your confirmation. EF-1 tornado caused the damage at Vets Park.
ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.
Edman. Senga. McMahon. Okamoto. Realmuto.
Those guys are the guys on the 5 highest payrolls in MLB who are *currently* making what McG will make. They're locking in cheap (and palatable washout) years.
And, just like hockey, the owners are gonna cry "save us from ourselves" to justify a cap.
I'm gonna bet microburst just based on the very concentrated damage around Vets park. You get the same wind speeds, and the same "trees down & snapped in all directions" scattering.
I drove by today. Yost lost a chunk of roof on the state street side on the visitors end, which dumped debris out onto state street.
Vets lost the rink wall on the parking lot side. That neighborhood lost a MASSIVE amount of trees in a small stretch. Gonna be interesting what NWS damage team says.
So the rumor mill says Yost lost a chunk of roof last night?
Poor MLB transaction bot. Might be a good idea to disengage the clutch and let it freewheel on Jackie Robinson day... #mlb
Let's hope some Turkey doesn't get radar madness and start craving human flesh
