First woman in space had to re-enact landing for filming it
Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first woman to go into space on June 16, 1963, had to re-enact her landing sequence in order to be filmed. Doctors concealed Tereshkova's bruise the day following her actual landing and the then 26-year-old was put back in her capsule, while actors ran towards the capsule to open it and receive her.
