“Why Gagarin and myself were chosen? It’s difficult to say,” Gherman Titov once mused during a translated interview with the CNN network. “The commanders chose us. But all the six of us were equally well-trained, and each could pilot the Vostok spacecraft. It was Gagarin’s character that mattered most. You have to understand me correctly: the first man in space had to be a nice, attractive person. [We were] told [it would be Gagarin] on the 9th of April, and journalists say that I was so glad for Yuri that I almost went to kiss him. I was disappointed, because I also counted that I would be the first man in space. But as the decision had been made, what was there to do?” [1].
