50 Years Ago Today, Man First Ventured in to Space

50 years ago Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin propelled humanity into a new age; the age of human space travel.

Video embedded below.



"Wondering what the trip was like for Yuri Gagarin, who became the first man in space exactly 50 years ago? Look no further than YouTube.

On April 12, 1961, the Russian cosmonaut became the first person in space, ushering in the era of human spaceflight. The rocket carrying Gagarin's Vostok 1 spacecraft blasted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Soviet Union, reaching unprecedented speeds for human travel at the time before it broke free of the Earth's gravitational pull and entered orbit around the planet, circling once before re-entering the atmosphere and landing back on Soviet soil."

    This anniversary is different. There has been almost nothing in comparison to other technologies that has advanced in the last 50 years of human spaceflight. It is unfortunate, but true.

    Hi. Great post, and great to acknowledge Gagarin on that day… He is a true hero. “I see Earth. It is so beautiful”, reportedly said Gagarin.
