Mooch follows Gagarin into space
The 12
th April 2011 is the 50
th anniversary of the first manned spaceflight in 1961 by Yuri Gagarin. The picture shows a spacecraft of the same type as Vostok 1 that carried Gagarin. The archive photo shows cosmonaut Gagarin in his orange spacesuit in the transit coach on the way to the launch pad. Behind him is the backup pilot Gherman Titov who flew in Vostok 2 a few months later.
A new movie has been created by
www.firstorbit.org and the International Space Station to show what Gagarin would have seen during his flight, and was premiered on YouTube on Tuesday 12
