Where Would the dead Cosmonauts be now?

Just wondering about the location and composition of the bodies of the dead cosmonauts from the tragic moon mission decades ago.
Are they still on the moon?
Would their bodies still be preserved or decayed?
Should we build a memorial on the moon for them?
Are they in deep outer space?
It is strange perhaps to think they are still floating out there and kind of sad.

The idea of floating bodies is funny... or "cliché" .. but honestly their body is decayed since long. I think it's the lack of atmoshphere and the temperature that destroys their body.

Cosmonauts? Moon mission? When? what?

I agree, what? What? I new that a rocket blew up on the launch pad in attempt to beat us to the moon. (Should have just faked it like the usa)

hmmmm, no oxygen. I would think that it would preserve and maybe freeze the body, might even be a little like beef jerky, im not sure ofcorse.

But im a bit more interested in the incident.

Could we get a source or link.

Thanks.

My understanding was the Russians made several failed attempts one made it but never returned ie they died on the moon.
I apologise if iam wrong.

Yeah I would really like a source also. I never heard of this.

Holy crap that would blow....god I would at least hope they had a cyanide tablet.

Sheesh

Thanks for that info...maybe ill look into it later

I don't think there's any dead Cosmonauts floating around from the research I've just done. So rest assured. All the dead ones are safe on earth.

Pretty interesting but doesn't seem to have any on the moon, or lost in orbit.

Well that's good to hear.

Was just wondering why I had never heard of that.

Because I thought they only had just orbited the moon, not actually landed.

So they would just be space jerky and not moon jerky.

Thanks for the follow up.

I respectfully disagree. I would think that they would remain perfectly preserved in an almost zero atmosphere environment, similar to ancient Mammoths that have been found fully intact after 10,000 years under the arctic ice.

I'm reading this thing right now and I still see nothing of cosmonauts that orbited the moon or died in space going to it. Can someone post the specific part where this happened?

I may be wrong I am getting confused with the dead astronauts who landed on the moon , but the same questions are asked.
I have no idea , but I was sure the russians had landed on the moon but died there due to an accident.

Closes they ever came was a manned spacecraft orbited the moon. But it's wasn't manned with people it had dummies in it. Other than their couple rovers they placed on the moon, the soviets never got a Russian soul on the surface. Not that we did either, but we had a fabulous set built.

Explanation: If the space suited cosmonaut cadaver is located out in the open on the moon then it would be subject to both extremes of temperature and also to direct and indirect space/luna debris from meteorite impacts plus the effects of the solar winds and cosmic radiation!

Anyway, decay would result just as a consequence of brownian motion! Its called entropy!

Personal Disclosure: If the suit wasn't punctured and they didn't run out of oxygen before they died then there is probably enough water and oxygen for some biological death and decay processes to have taken place! Body bloating may have occured ect!

Very interesting , this is what I was able to find ..

The Lost Cosmonauts, or Phantom Cosmonauts, are cosmonauts who allegedly entered outer space, but whose existence has never been acknowledged by either the Soviet or Russian space authorities.
Proponents of the Lost Cosmonauts theory concede that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to survive space travel, but claim that the Soviet Union attempted to launch two or more manned space flights prior to Gagarin's, and that at least two cosmonauts died in the attempts. Another cosmonaut, Vladimir Ilyushin, is believed to have landed off-course and been held by the Chinese government. The Soviet government supposedly suppressed this information, to prevent bad publicity during the height of the Cold War.
The evidence cited to support Lost Cosmonaut theories is generally not regarded as conclusive, and several cases have been confirmed as hoaxes. In the 1980s, American journalist James Oberg researched space-related disasters in the Soviet Union, but found no evidence of these Lost Cosmonauts.[1] Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, much previously restricted information is now available. Even with the availability of published Soviet archival material and memoirs of Russian space pioneers, no hard evidence has emerged to support the Lost Cosmonaut stories.

I mean if the soviets did get people on the surface of the moon, and they died there. They'd still claim it a victory, and their deaths would have been sacrifices for the red cause. They would have won the moon race. Only america was shooting for the get them back part.

Ok I think I got it wrong.
But isnt it strange how the Russians never bothered to land on the moon and no one has ever since?
Is it they all know there is something waiting for them?
I mean everything invoving technology has progressed since the last moon landing, yet no one else has landed?
It is very odd and illogical that every nation has decided it is too much bother.

Well thats a whole nuther thing altogether!!

Thanks to all who enlightened me on the hammer and sickle never "officially" getting a bag of bones on the big cheese.
