Cosmonautics Day

On the 12th of April 1961 an exceptional event took place - the first human being managed to leave the planet Earth and fly around it in a spaceship. His name was Yuri Gagarin. Whatever happens to the humanity in the years to come, even when we will be able to travel through space and build up colonies across the universe we will always remember the name of the first human in Cosmos.
