April 12 was already a huge day in space history twenty years before the launch of the first shuttle mission. On that day in 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (left, on the way to the launch pad) became the first human in space, making a 108-minute orbital flight in his Vostok 1 spacecraft. Newspapers like The Huntsville Times (right) trumpeted Gagarin's accomplishment.
Why Yuri Gagarin Remains the First Man in Space, Even Though He Did Not Land Inside His Spacecraft. Every year as the anniversary of the first human spaceflight approaches, I receive calls inquiring about the validity of Yuri Gagarinâs claim as the first human in space. The legitimate questions focus on the fact that Gagarin did not land inside his spacecraft.
