OMG...I remember watching this on television in black and white when I was 6 years old!
I didn't really understand what was going on, but my Dad told me all about it. I have always remembered the name Yuri Gagarin because I couldn't pronounce it when I was 6 years old but my Mum and Dad helped me to say it.
An amazing flight!
Since then we have learned more about it since Russia has opened it's doors.
It seems that after the momentous space flight, Yuri's capsule came down in a farmer's field and had to knock on the door to ask to use his phone to contact the space centre!
YURI....PHONE HOME!
The capsule from the Vostok 3KA-3 rocket carrying Yuri Gagarin. He even came to Manchester!
