-Yuri Gagarin
"One of the man that I admired most-Yuri Gagarin , I can't imagine man can go to space in the 60s .During 60s calculator and computer considering a miracle invention.Driving F1 car in the 60s with 300kmh is really fast ,how about the speed of a space rocket?For those days, people of the world think this mission is a suicide mission but at the end nothing is impossible."- Ray
Yuri Gagarin was born in the village of Klushino near Gzhatsk (now in Smolensk Oblast, Russia), on the 9th of March 1934. Born to farmer parents, he was the third child in the Gagarin family. During his childhood, he shown great brilliance in mathematics and science. Yuri joined the Soviet Air Force in 1955 and graduated with honors from the Soviet Air Force Academy in 1957. Shortly afterwards, he became a military fighter pilot. By 1959, he was selected by the Soviet government to become a Russian Cosmonaut as part of the first group of the Russian Space Programme. On April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit Earth The name of his spacecraft was Vostok 1. Vostok 1 was divided to two sections. One section was for Yuri alongside the passanger seat and rest area. The second section was for supplies of oxygen,food and water. Vostok 1 circled Earth at a speed of 27,380 kilometers per hour. The flight lasted 108 minutes. Once in orbit, Yuri Gagarin had no control over his spacecraft. Vostok's reentry was controlled by a computer program sending radio commands to the space capsule. Although the controls were locked, a key had been placed in a sealed envelope in case an emergency situation made it necessary for Gagarin to take control. Yuri Gagarin did not land inside of Vostok 1. He ejected from the spacecraft and landed by parachute.Yuri Gagarin is often referred to as "The Columbus of The Cosmos". Unfortunately Yuri Gagarin was killed in a plane crash before he could travel in space a second time on March, 27 1968. Today the Russian government has built a memorial park to recognize his achievement towards the country.
