12 апр 1961 г. - First Man in Space

Описание:

During the Cold War Space Race, It became clear that a major stepping point would be to get an actual human into outer space. Both America and the Soviet Union worked on this goal with their individual space programs, until eventually on 12th April 1961, Russian pilot Yuri Gagarin was launched from Kazakhstan via a craft known as Vostok 1, and became the first man in history to enter space. Gagarin orbited Earth for 108 minutes before re-entering the atmosphere over the Soviet Union and landing back in Kazakhstan.

The United States launched its own man into space a month later, resulting in space piloting becoming an official profession. In Russia, this job was called a "cosmonaut", from the ancient Greek meaning "sailor of the universe"; in the Western world, it was referred to as an "astronaut" from the Greek terms for "sailor of the stars".
