The Soviet Juri Gagarin came into space, the first man to achieve it.

63
years ago

12 April 1961,

The Soviet cosmonaut Juri Gagarin became the first man to travel into space, in the Vostok 1 spacecraft. Juri Gagarin was the son of a humble family and his father, for example, was a carpenter. This initiative took place in the context of the Cold War and the Space Race, in a competition between the US and the Soviet Union.
