It was 58 years ago today when with his famous phrase „поехали!” (”Let’s go!”) Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin became the first human in Low Earth Orbit, reaching an altitude of 327 kilometres above the surface of the planet for 1 hour and 48 minutes. He and his misson, Vostok 1 had begun the new era of human space exploration, and it’s impacts have changed humanity to what we know today. С Днём Космонавтики! 🚀✨
