On April 12, 1951 Russian (then Soviet) Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to traverse the then virgin realm of outer space, by circling the Earth in the Vostok 1 (aka Vostok 3KA-2) capsule.
His lone orbit of the planet only lasted 108 minutes, but its impact lives on.
The Free Choice E-zine pauses to commemorate this event, and sincerely hopes that mankind continues to reach for the stars and beyond.
