Have any cosmonauts from Tuva (aka Tyba) flown in space?

Just curious

Not to the best of my knowledge; it's possible, given than Tuva was
absorbed sufficiently circa 1940 to pretty much be considered a part of
the Russian SSR from then on, that one of the cosmonauts we have as
"Russian" came from there and no-one noticed enough to mention it, but I
do doubt it. Very small place, IIRC...

Thanks for the FTL answer, Andrew!

I suspect you are working on a horrid limerick and am glad nobody has
encouraged you.

Nope, and none selected.

Nooo, honest. I am very interested in Tuva, as Richard Feynmann suggested I
should be, for a variety of reasons. Its about the most exotic place I can
think of and one of few spots I want to visit that I haven't seen. I collect
Tyban stamps, postcards and similar crap, longing for the day with I have my
own yurt with a view.

Haven't found anything on ebay?

I've seen yurts. I've even seen INSIDE yurts. Kazakh ones, true, but the
model is widespread.

The fascination is genuine, go for it. But go prepared.

What I need can't be found on ebay - I have a brother in law at UCSC that is
the Feynmann in my life, a character with a brilliant intellect as well as a
warped sense of humor. I need something to tickle his mind, the way he has
given me things to consider over the years. I'll know it when I see it, in
fact, I may have just had the phone call that closes it up with a bow.

I have been studying my Tyba-to-English dictionary for months. I'll let you
know when one of the words actually sticks!
