When Humanity Stepped Into Space: Gagarin’s Flight (1961) On April 12, 1961, the world changed forever. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to complete an orbital flight around Earth aboard Vostok-1. The entire mission lasted only 108 minutes, but it was enough to rewrite the course of history. Gagarin launched a new era — the Space Race — where two superpowers competed not just for dominance on Earth, but for supremacy in space. His legendary words, “Poyekhali!” (“Let’s go!”), became the symbol of humanity’s cosmic leap. Fun fact: After landing, Gagarin accidentally parachuted into a farmer’s field. A woman and her daughter, working nearby, were the first people to greet the returning space pioneer.
