History of Space Exploration: Chapter 4, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

CORRECTION
Gagarin ejected at about 7 km and parachuted separately; his spacecraft also
descended by parachute. Both landed 26 km southwest of Engels.

HOW THE ERROR AROSE
Soviet officials initially insisted he landed with the capsule, and he had to
say so at press conferences. The FAI required pilots to land with their craft
for records; it later revised its rules. Moscow admitted the truth in 1971.
