Talk:Leonov

'Cosmonaut' as part of the name
There is no logical reason to include 'cosmonaut' as part of the ship's name. The only reason I can think of is that, in 2010, there's another Alexei Leonov in the Soviet Union who is out of political favour, so the profession was included in the ship's name to make it understood throughout the Soviet Union who is being honoured with the ship's name. I suppose another option would be to include his middle initial (for Arkhipovich) to clarify, unless the other out-of-favour Leonov's father also had a name beginning with A. In that case, include Arkhipovich in the ship's name, unless the other Leonov's father was also named Arkhipov! If that's the case, then no WONDER they put "Cosmonaut" into the ship's name.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 2010, I believe Clarke wrote the full name of the spacecraft as the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, but it was most commonly referred to by the crew as simply Leonov.

Specs
Call me a geek/nerd/whatever, but can anyone point me in the direction of references to the ship's specs - size, speed, etc? —Seniram 16:57, April 21, 2018 (UTC)
