Build and Shoot

On April 12, 1961, a launch vehicle orbited the Vostok spacecraft with the first cosmonaut, Soviet citizen Yuri Gagarin, on board.
After circling the Earth once, the spacecraft’s descent module landed in the USSR.
The cosmonaut ejected at an altitude of several kilometers above the ground and parachuted into a field at 10.55 am Moscow Time. He landed on the bank of the Volga River near the village of Smelovka in the Ternovsky District of the Saratov Region.

The flight lasted 108 minutes, and the launch of the world’s first manned spacecraft was supervised by Sergei Korolev, Anatoly Kirillov and Leonid Voskresensky.

This history-making event paved the way for space exploration for the benefit of the entire humankind. New opportunities in space were created in 2000 when the first crew boarded the International Space Station (ISS), a joint space project involving 15 countries.

The station is tracked 24 hours a day from the Russian Federal Space Agency’s Mission Control Center in Korolev near Moscow and NASA's Mission Control Center at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

I think that you're tried to insult our nation

happy IDHSF, many spaces for all of you

Please stop embarrassing my country.
Also, noone cares. I don't even see Americans making Moon landing or 9/11 anniversary threads here.

It's not "your" since you moved to Ciprus.

Moon landing

The second leading event in the space, but still not first. Plus there are still a lot of "Moon landing conspiracy theories".

9/11 anniversary

This is not even a holiday.

Also, noone cares.

So you should just ignore this thread, not even post in. Why did you do that?

neat, never knew. Was the person who was in the craft a prisoner or was he an actually astronaut?

That's a shame. If people cared more for science and celebrated scientific discoveries and achievements such as this and, yes, the moon landing like they celebrate arbitrary nationalistic or religious dates, the world would be a much less shittier place.

That is not true just for the forums, unfortunately.

Implying Russia ever did anything for science that was not actually for arms races.
Just because I live somewhere else doesn't mean I instantly lost my nationality. unfortunately

Implying half of the shit discovered by science was not linked to or directly caused by research in military tech or some other form of petty competition between countries
I feel you bro

If you don't want to be a Russian, you can call yourself a Turk, for example. South Russians really looks like a Turks

Pls turks invented kebabs that's way better than anything russians made.

Meh, kebab is 5/10
