April , 1961, Yuri Gagarin, A Russian cosmonaut became the first

human being in space. Although his flight lasted only 108 minutes, its success

made him a national hero. He also became the first person to eat and drink in

zero gravity, and he was able to view the Earth in a way that no one had done

before. Unfortunately, a plan crash in March 1968 made Gagarin’s desire of

revisiting space impossible. After his death, his hometown and the Cosmonaut

Training Centre at Star City. Russia, were named after him.
