They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but the sea.

When humanity broke the first barrier:
Yuri Gagarin's Flight


On April 12, 1961 cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin launched from a site near the Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard a Vostok 3KA spacecraft, for the Vostok 1 mission. It was the first manned space flight in human history, which placed the first human into orbit as the craft separated from the boosters ten minutes after take-off, at 06:17 GMT.

Less than two hours later, Yuri Gagarin had safely landed, completing the first journey in our efforts to free humankind from its terran shackles and reach for the stars.

A true pioneer of humanity, Gagarin showed us the way. It is up to us to leave our bitter and petty disputes and seek the path that leads us to the skies.
It is our only duty and one that we should remember each time we turn our gaze to the night skies.
