Generally, the term &#8220;astronaut&#8221; preceded the term &#8220;cosmonaut&#8221; thanks to science fiction books that flooded and continue to flood the American market.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, the word &#8220;cosmonaut&#8221; comes from the words &#8220;<strong>kosmos&#8221; and &#8220;nautes,&#8221;<\/strong> where &#8220;kosmos&#8221; in ancient Greek means &#8220;ornament,&#8221; and in modern Greek has come to mean &#8220;the universe.&#8221; Therefore, the concept of &#8220;cosmonaut&#8221; is broader than the term &#8220;astronaut&#8221; and <strong>implies the specially trained person who explores the universe in its entirety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, these two terms not only have this difference but also have a political nuance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the USA and in countries that use the space stations and spacecraft of the Americans, the term &#8220;astronaut&#8221; is attributed to all those who begin the required training to become &#8220;space travelers,&#8221; regardless of whether they ultimately do so or not.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the USA, it is characteristic that &#8220;the astronaut badge&#8221; is awarded to those who travel to an altitude greater than 50 miles, i.e., 80.5 kilometers. Conversely, in the former Soviet Union and in today&#8217;s Russia, anyone who makes a space journey from a space station on Russian territory and completes it is called a &#8220;cosmonaut.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Therefore, one cannot be considered a cosmonaut if they have been trained but has not completed a space journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u03a3\u03b5 \u03b5\u03c5\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5 \u0395\u03cd\u03b7!!!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pontosnews.gr%2F386186%2Fomogeneia%2Fgnorizate-oti-o-giourtsichin-einai-kos%2F\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%CE%93%CE%BD%CF%89%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%B6%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B5%20%CF%8C%CF%84%CE%B9%20%CE%BF%20%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CF%84%CF%83%CE%AF%CF%87%CE%B9%CE%BD%20%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%BC%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CF%8D%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82%20%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CF%8C%CF%87%CE%B9%20%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%84%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CF%8D%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82%3B%20via%20%40pontosnews&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pontosnews.gr%2F386186%2Fomogeneia%2Fgnorizate-oti-o-giourtsichin-einai-kos%2F\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=%CE%93%CE%BD%CF%89%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%B6%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B5%20%CF%8C%CF%84%CE%B9%20%CE%BF%20%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CF%84%CF%83%CE%AF%CF%87%CE%B9%CE%BD%20%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%BC%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CF%8D%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82%20%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9%20%CF%8C%CF%87%CE%B9%20%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%84%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CF%8D%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82%3B%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.pontosnews.gr%2F386186%2Fomogeneia%2Fgnorizate-oti-o-giourtsichin-einai-kos%2F\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"card-text\">Very often we hear the words &#8220;astronaut&#8221; and &#8220;cosmonaut&#8221; and consider them synonymous.
