Happy Gagarin day!

Today marks the 50th anniversary of man's first footsteps into space, Piloted by Yuri Gagarin it was a short flight of 108 minutes aboard the Vostock 1 but it was possibly one of the most important day's in Human history and one that all people of the world can look upon and see the future.

Woo :D

Though I thought he was only the first to go into space and come back?
 
IT'S A LIEEE ! !!! IT WAS ALL IN HOLLYWOOD !!!!

Just thought i'd start an argument. Arguments are fun, after all.
 
As a point of interest the first American in space, Cmdr. Alan B. Shepherd, is a distant relative of mine (like 5th or 6th cousin on my paternal grandmother's side).
