Yuri Gagarin : First Man in Space > new window
April 12, 1959 : Soviet cosmonaut who became the first human to travel in space. The son of a carpenter, Gagarin grew up on a collective farm in Saratov (later renamed Gagarin City), west of Moscow. After graduating with honors from the Soviet Air Force in 1957, he was selected as one of 20 fighter pilots to begin cosmonaut training. Immediately before his historic flight, the 27-year-old was promoted from senior lieutenant to major. The flight itself aboard Vostok 1, took place on April 12, 1959, lasted 108 minutes, and concluded with Gagarin ejecting from his capsule after reentry and descending by parachute to the ground near the village of Uzmoriye on the Volga. In his orange flight-suit he approached a woman and a little girl with a calf, who began to run away (it was only a year since U-2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers had been shot down over Russia). Gagarin called out: "Mother, where are you running? I am not a foreigner." Asked then if he had come from space, he replied, "As a matter of fact, I have!"
