A Simple Man - Vostok 1
Музыка
Eduard Artemyev - Theme from Siberiade
60 years ago today, April 8th, Yuri Gagarin was chosen as the crewman for the Vostok 1 mission, with Gherman Titov as his backup. 4 days later he would become the first man in space, completing a single orbit over the course of just over an hour.
"As his close friend and cosmonaut colleague Alexei Leonov tells it, then-premier Nikita Khrushchev cornered Gagarin "So tell me, Yuri," he asked, "did you see God up there?" After a moment's pause Gagarin answered, "Yes sir, I did." Khrushchev frowned. "Don't tell any one.""
Apparently the BBC has the balls to straight up deny uploading the HD versions of some of this footage because apparently sharing one of the most important events in history is something only they should have the privilege of doing, despite showing no interest in doing so... So I spend 6 hours tracking down the older versions to fill the gaps.

@@wolfpack571 Many engineers worked on this, but it was Korolev who made the greatest contribution to Gagarin’s flight; a city near Moscow was even named after him.
It's quite a beautiful thing that the first man to enter space, the representative of all mankind in the cosmos, wasn't a billionare. He wasn't a Rockefeller, a Rosthchild, a king or aristocrat. He was a worker, a person just like any one of us, the son of a carpenter and a milkmaid. Yuri had the honor that he did not because he was wealthy, or of noble birth, but because of his character and qualification for the job. In that one orbit, mankind and the working people had won, even if it was only for a brief moment.

@@franbtt4482si fuese solo por la propaganda, hubiese sido un oficial del partido, un general o un demagogo. Compara eso con los americanos, que antes de iniciar el programa espacial con la fuerza aérea, consideraron lanzar a "stuntmen", hombres de espectáculo, al espacio, antes de que entendieran que no es simple ni sencilla la tarea, y que cada avance forma parte no solo de la historia humana sino que del desarrollo de un posible nuevo frente de batalla. Lo que destaca el comentario, es como quien salió a "dar la cara" por la humanidad, no fue quien fuese dueño ni poderoso, sino quien estuvo dispuesto a ofrecer la vida por el momento. En la práctica, quien hace los logros y deja la primera marca en la historia no es el poderoso ni el pudiente sino que el hombre común, y así ha quedado demostrado en este caso y siempre.

quote from Vladimir Komarov's wikipedia articile Before leaving the Moon on Apollo 11's Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong's final task was to place a small package of memorial items to honor Soviet cosmonauts Komarov, Yuri Gagarin, and the Apollo 1 astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.[35] Komarov's and Gagarin's name also appears on a commemorative plaque left at Hadley Rille on the Moon by the commander of Apollo 15, David Scott in memory of 14 deceased NASA astronauts and USSR cosmonauts, along with a small sculpture entitled Fallen Astronaut, on 1 August 1971. This plaque and the sculpture represent those astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the quest to reach outer space and the Moon.[36]

you are wrong, in conditions when the world was tormented by the shackles of the Cold War, two states entered the space race, and the Soviet Union undoubtedly invaded the states, Gagarin’s flight is undoubtedly an achievement of all mankind, but the fact that it was organized by Soviet scientists and designers makes it clear about the greatness of the Soviet state, This is the first Soviet cosmonaut in space, it couldn’t be any other way!!!
"I know that all of you like to dream about space and are a little bit of envious of us. But you know what? We're also envious of you. We are exploring the space, but it's only the beginning.

Because the success is not of one man but of a nation that unity has given lessons to that part of the world that prided itself on calling itself the West. The barriers are set by men but the visionaries are able to break them down for themselves but above all for the sake of those voices that do not scream but whisper to be heard. An Italian friend.
