In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, thus starting the Space Age. Russia's cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth, aboard the Vostok 1 manned spacecraft on 12 April 1961.
By December 1958, the Americans had sent a living creature into space and in May 1959 monkeys Able and Baker became the first animals to survive the trip. Yet these early American achievements were eclipsed on April 12, 1961 when the Soviet Union put the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space.
