If Columbus knew nothing more of seamanship than how to paddle a canoe in a river, had then taken a correspondence course in navigation for a year before selting out onto the sea for the first tire and sailed to America and back. he would have had an equal claim to greatness.
But I disagree with your leader writer's claim that Gagarin's feat was greater than the Wright Brothers'. I think they have a fair claim to equality even though the astronaut faced greater relative risks in 'his role of human guinea pig.
