今天买了本旧书，书名是 COSMONAUTS OF THE USSR ，1980年出版的，貌似是 Second senior forms school 的课外读物。
翻开第一页就能看见一段字：
We know the exact dates of all space launchings; we can name the landmarks in the history of space flight; we can name bold dreamers and courageous explorers. But we shall never know who first dreamed of flying to the stars. That dream is as old as the human race itself.
往后一番才发现通篇的英语，好在我还能看得懂。书已经很破了，看来还要好好的用胶布粘一下。这又让我想起了书店看到的那本1912年的计算数学书…
