Yuri Gagarin Celebrated

Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin—honored today with a Google Doodle—waves from a car outside the Russian Embassy in London in July 1961, a few months after he became the first human to fly in space. Today marks the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's historic first orbit around Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.

April 12,2011 was Yuri's 50th anniversary since his space flight.

Kung hindi lang bumagsak ang Soviet Union mas advance sana ngayon ang space exploration. Sila kasi ang mas masigasig compare to america. Baka nakakapagpadala na ngayon ng Human sa Mars at ibang planets.

This man is a son of carpenter/farmer.

This man is a God for me.
