[edit] Third World?

The article currently states, regarding Mr. Pham:

And by extension, he was also the first person from a Third World country to fly into space.

However, Vietnam was a second world country, rather than an unaligned third world nation—at least in the sense that was relevant at the time Pham was a cosmonaut. —Ryanaxp 20:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

What are you editing Wikipedia articles for? For living people to understand or for the dead who lived during the 1960s to understand? I put that back because it is correct and easily understandable for anybody who is not in a time warp.--lt2hieu2004 17:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Department of Redundancy Department

There's something wrong with "Defence Industry of the Ministry of Defense" (the spelling isn't even consistent!), but I don't know how to fix it. Of what body is this dude actually the head? --Groyolo 20:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

This dude (no disrespect, just thought the way you referred to him as "dude" is quite funny) is Head of the General Department of Defence Industry of the Ministry of Defence - In Vietnamese: Tổng cục trưởng tổng cục Công Nghiệp bộ Quốc Phòng. I fixed the spelling to make it more consistent.--lt2hieu2004 02:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
