During the Space Race, how long did astronauts & cosmonauts train for a mission?

Michael Collins said in Carrying The Fire (page 197) that this sort of question is hard to answer; he was the Gemini 10 pilot and he trained for that mission for six months, but he had been on the backup crew of Gemini 7 so he spent six months training for that and learning the basics of the Gemini spacecraft, then there was all the basic training he went through before being assigned to a mission (learning about things like orbital mechanics and spending time in the zero-g airplane for example), and he also felt like he should include his experience as a military test pilot before he joined NASA.

The shortest possible time back then was 1.5 years until flying a mission, but that was a very rare case - most had at least about two years of training. The training for a specific kind of capsule is part of the basic training as astronaut, you get only a special training if you switch spacecraft, and often it wasn't needed: The astronauts had been involved in the design of the new spacecraft and knew it as good as the engineers who built it.

I'm guessing no less than 6 months and as much as a year or longer. In the 60's space race, the types of capsules evolved over time, the Friendship series, Liberty, Gemini, Apollo.....

at first, might desire to declare that's a giggle how those, who declare of themselves because of the fact the biggest warring parties for actuality and objectivity, might desire to hotel to such equipment as argument by potential of authority ("interior the optimal stages of public have faith"). Even the main depended on individual interior the full international could be incorrect. the main depended on individual on earth, BTW, ought to be the U. S. president, i don't comprehend all of us else who gets extra votes in a democracy expressing the have faith that his voters have for him. Funnily, this have faith differences immediately after the election and the recent president is straight away the same old kleptocrat. next, the website you unsolicited mail-link to, is completely a decision of the commonplace crap. previous comments, that for the period of no way have been as much as date because of the fact any new preparation in regards to the situations replaced into "against the reality" or "government deception". that's a non secular cult you appropriate to. not an internet site attracted to genuine scientific study of such activities. The sought after sparks that Glenn observed on his first spaceflight for occasion, were pointed out already on the subsequent venture in area, as ice flakes that dropped loose from his pill. A earlier unknown phenomena, on the grounds that no person envisioned that a small layer of ice can type on the pill. additionally, the flying saucer hype of the 1950 did not supply up on the gates of NASA - almost each and every US citizen had a obsession with them, regularly although with lots of humor. Many pilots actual knew that they were observing lenticular clouds. If alien craft could be as substantial as claimed on such web pages - the place are they? i did not see any like them yet. All alien craft I actual have seen interior the media were actual debunked hoaxes. in case you look into the inhabitants density of the places the place alien craft were sighted (not purely UFOs), there ought to be 1000's or 1000's of witnesses. not purely a single individual with blurred photos or in basic terms wild thoughts. the ideal course i will inform you to the muse of alien craft, is save on with the money. for sure the adult men that run the Istanbul alien craft museum discover many UFOs of their city each and every 12 months. they might desire to. And Roswell is already surrounded with many diverse alien craft crash web pages. not because of the fact incredibly maximum of UFOs crashed there. yet because of the fact alien craft tourism brings some uncomplicated money.
