It was on the 12th of April, 1961, when the first flight by man into cosmic space took place. Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut in the world, was a 27-year old Air Force pilot at that time.

The spaceship flew at the speed of 300 miles a minute. His flight lasted 108 minutes. It was a brilliant achievement of our scientists and technologists, and of Yuri Gagarin

who risked his life to achieve a victory for his country and mankind.

Yuri Gagarin said at the press conference: «On my flight the ‘day’ side of the Earth was clearly seen: the continents, islands, seas, and big rivers. Flying over the land I could clearly see the big fields, and it was possible to distinguish which was meadow and which was forest.

I did not see the Moon. In space the sun shines ten times more brightly than on the Earth. The stars can be seen very well.

I felt excellent. When weightlessness developed, everything was easier to do. My legs and arms weighed nothing. Objects swam in the cabin».
