Why were the astronaut's names rendered in the feminine form?
(for those who don't know, Russian distinguishes between men & women's names with an "a" or a "ya" on the end. Thus, Yuri Gagarin's sister would be Gagarina, Titov's wife would be Titova, and Svetlana Savitskaya's father would be Savitskiy)
