Gagarin's secret last words

One of the last things Yuri Gagarin did before making his pioneering voyage into space 50 years ago was make sure he had enough sausage to last him on the trip back home to Moscow.

"There in the flap you have dinner, supper and breakfast," the father of the Soviet rocket programme told Gagarin by radio as the clock ticked down.

"Got it," Gagarin replied in comments originally posted on the lifenews.ru website.

"You've got sausage, candy and jam to go with the tea," Korolyov went on. "Sixty-three pieces -- you'll get fat! When you get back today, eat everything right away."

Gagarin joked back: "The main thing is that there is sausage -- to go with the moonshine."

Korolyov appeared to take the joke in stride.

"Damn. This thing is recording everything, the bastard," the scientist said in reference to the relay recorders.

Well I dont know about yall but I think this is pretty funny.  But its also kind of interesting thinking of how much we dont see when something happens, like all the behind the scenes stuff.  Oh and if I were going to the moon I'd bring 63 bags of baked lays.....mmmm :) and mentos....and pretzles......and can you take soda into space. Not sure that would turn out too well.  It would also be pretty cool to make a bracelet from moon rocks or somethin like that.  What would yall bring with you if you were going into space. Dont say soda cause I'm almost positive that would blow up.
