In 1942, Kostya Feoktistov at the age of sixteen, escaped to the front, joined reconnaissance missions disguised as an ordinary boy, and brought back invaluable information about the enemy's location.

🔻During one mission, he was captured by a German patrol. An SS officer took Kostya to a pit, shooting him in the head.

🔻The Nazis assumed the boy was dead and left. However, Kostya regained consciousness after a while, waited for darkness, and crossed the river to his own side, despite his severe injury.

🔻The bullet, as it turned out later, had passed through his chin and neck, exiting the other side.

🔻Kostya Feoktistov recovered, finished school and the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

🔻Seven years later, the young and talented engineer Feoktistov was already drawing blueprints for spacecraft, and in 1964, he flew into space on a ship of his own design, without a spacesuit.
