Dear Friends,
On April 12th, we joyfully celebrate the anniversary of the first human spaceflight! This incredible day marks the achievements of humanity in venturing beyond the boundaries of our home planet, Earth.
The International Day of Human Space Flight is a reminder of the immense potential of space exploration. It encourages us to dream big, push the boundaries of what's possible, and work together to overcome the challenges ahead.
Today, let's celebrate the incredible achievements of human spaceflight and honour the men and women who dedicate their lives to exploring the unknown. Reflect on how space exploration has expanded our understanding of the universe and shaped our future.
Embrace the spirit of curiosity, discovery, and innovation that drives human spaceflight. Let's continue to explore, learn, and push the boundaries of human knowledge for the benefit of all humanity.
Here are 5 fun facts about space you might not know:
1. Well, let's ride.
Before becoming a cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin was a pilot, and the plane made its first flight before taking off for space.
2. I'm burning, farewell, comrades!
During re-entry, Yuri Gagarin thought he was on fire as the module passed through the atmosphere and was engulfed in flames.
3. Laces Untied
It's said that Gagarin had an untied lace in one boot when he reported a successful flight, making him even more relatable to people.
4. What if he goes crazy?
Scientists worried Gagarin might go mad in space, so the ship was on autopilot. To switch to manual mode, he needed to open an envelope with a code—given to him just before launch, just in case.
5. Two Backups
Gagarin had not one but two stunt doubles. The second backup didn't wear a space suit, ensuring there was always a plan B and C.
