Alas, another great and record-breaking character from the early days of human space exploration has left us. Sadly enough, if you do an online search for her name you will be confronted with hundreds of entries detailing Marina's principal interest in her latter decades, and the subject of her international talks and interviews - her unshakeable belief in UFOs. Marina's life features in my new book, "Shattered Dreams," now with UNP and about to undergo editing.

Another sad news. I met Marina at the wedding of Vladimir Kovalyonok's son Vova back in the early 1990ies.
