April 12, 1961 - Carmen Sandiego Hides a Chronoskimmer on Vostok-1

After stealing a time-travel device called a Chronoskimmer from ACME, notorious thief Carmen Sandiego deployed her criminal associates to various points in history to prevent important events from occurring. She would finally stash the Chronoskimmer inside the rocket Vostok-1, just before Yuri Gagarin piloted the craft into space, becoming the first human to orbit Earth.

Fortunately, ACME agents, following the backup time tunnels left behind by the Chronoskimmer, recovered the device, allowing Gagarin’s flight to continue as planned, preserving the timeline.
