PopImpressKA Journal News: The Consulate General of the Russian Federation in New York and The Russian American Cultural Heritage Center celebrating the 55th Anniversary of the First manned to Space by Yuri Gagarin

PopImpressKA Journal Event News: The Consulate General of the Russian Federation in New York and The Russian American Cultural Heritage Center - Celebrating Russian American History Month in New York State Commemorating the 55th Anniversary of the First manned to Space by Yuri Gagarin:

 

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was born 9 March 1934 and died at just 34 years old, 27 March 1968.

Yuri was a Russian Soviet pilot and The Very First cosmonaut.

He was indeed the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed successfully an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961. Being a farm boy Yuri has an amazing appreciation for beauty of our Planet earth and when he first saw our globe from outer space he described it as a Field of Hay.

 

Gagarin was a very positive and kind human being, his smile was very sincere and he himself inspired so many people to reach amazing goals in life.

Gagarin became an international celebrity, and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, the nation's highest honor. Vostok 1 marked his only spaceflight, but he served as backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission (which ended in a fatal crash). Gagarin later became deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Center outside Moscow, which was later named after him. Gagarin died in 1968 when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed. The Yuri Gagarin Medal is awarded in his honor.

The Consulate General of the Russian Federation in New York held an incredible event and honored many guests with their incredible achievements in cultural and education progress.
