The April 12, 2011 were met cincueta years since humans left the Earth's atmosphere for the first time in its history and completes an orbit around the planet. While Yuri Gagarin, the first astronaut in history, performed a 'simple' space travel less than two hours, down on Earth, it had become a Soviet hero and stood back to head space race.
Moscow (Colpisa-Ep-Ideal) On April 12, 1961, an hour after take-off of the capsule 'Vostok-1' from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (in Kazakhstan today), the official Soviet agency Tass announced to the world Moscow had sent the first man into space. At these times, and experienced Gagarin in space if humans could eat, drink and move freely, something that Soviet scientists were not sure.
"Poiejali" ("up") are the only words uttered at the Gagarin launch an operation during which his weight multiplied by five. Earlier in his speech from the base, had said that the trip represented everything I had lived and was proud of being "with nature face to face."
Fourteen minutes after takeoff, when the blue sky had become black in space, Gagarin reported to mission control on the ground that it was all normal and that the lack of gravity does not seemed to have side effects.
When the ship began to fly over Africa, the autopilot turned on the retro-motors' and began the dangerous return to Earth. In two of the five tests made, the engines did not work correctly, so one would expect anything in an atmospheric re-entry to 27,000 miles per hour in which the capsule reached a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius.
As I walked through the atmosphere, Gagarin could see flames coming from the 'Vostok', inside which the temperature was just 20 degrees, while its weight is multiplied by ten. The parachute functioned normally, and the man "who had been closer to the stars" landed healthy and except in Siberia after an hour and 48 minutes away.
