    The plan was for Komarov to park the Soyuz 1 space capsule next to another vehicle and then spacewalk between them. That much is true, but historians say the rest of the story printed in "Starman" and recounted on Krulwich's blog is grossly inaccurate. Krulwich told Life's Little Mysteries he has come to believe there are errors in the tale he told, but urges readers to consider the informal nature of blogs even those labeled "NPR.

    According to "Starman," Krulwich wrote, Komarov's Soyuz 1 was riddled with problems, and many within the Soviet space program knew it long before take-off. Yuri Gagarin, a national hero for having been the first man in space, supposedly sent a memo to a KGB officer named Venyamin Russayev telling him the rendezvous mission needed to be postponed. The memo was hushed up, though, and everyone who read it, along with Russayev, got demoted, fired or sent to Siberia. The book's authors assert that Komarov knew he would die if the mission went forth, but he refused to back out of it.

    The backup pilot, Gagarin, was his beloved friend. Prior to the mission leaving the ground, Komarov supposedly told Russayev the KGB officer that he would take the fall to save Gagarin's life. Despite Gagarin's last minute attempt to take Komarov's place Doran and Bizony write that Gagarin showed up before launch demanding to be put in a spacesuit , the mission went forward as planned, with Komarov at the helm of the Soyuz 1 capsule. Right from the start a series of mechanical failures ensued, and soon it was clear that Komarov was doomed. According to the book, then Soviet premier Alexei Kosygin even called Komarov and, sobbing, told him he was a hero.

    As the shoddy space capsule shot down through the atmosphere and crashed into Earth, Doran and Bizony claim that Komarov could be heard "crying in rage," and accusing his superiors of killing him, Krulwich wrote.

    Not unexpectedly, the blog post got a huge amount of attention unfortunately so, because, according to Soviet space program historians, the account given in Doran and Bizony's book is rife with inaccuracies. According to Krulwich, three prominent space historians, including Asif Siddiqi at Fordham University, immediately contacted him questioning the validity of what he had written. He wrote a follow-up post asking everyone not to shoot the messenger, and shifting the blame for any errors to the authors of "Starman.

    In most historians' views, the main point of contention is the fact that the only source for all the new claims in "Starman" is the former KGB officer, Venyamin Russayev, and no one knows who he actually is.

    It was the height of the space race, Krulwich wrote, and the 50th anniversary of the Communist Revolution was approaching. Pearlman and others would argue that this is a step that Krulwich, a respected journalist, should have taken before publishing his post, or that he should have at least voiced his skepticism more plainly.

    Part of the problem is we don't know how reliable of a source this person is," said Robert Pearlman, space historian and owner of the space history and artifacts website collectSPACE.
