Tells the story of Yuri Gagarin, the first Soviet cosmonaut to orbit the Earth, and describes his reception back in the Soviet Union and his later life
This made me feel better after having to sticker space books for about twenty minutes, for all those which I had to look through did not mention that any other nation besides the United States had reached the universe beyond planet Earth.
My father nagged me for pronouncing Gagarin funny when I spoke of it. Perhaps he got to hear about the cosmonaut more than I had.
So essentially the story is that I went through all the paperback space books, then in alarm went searching for truth about history. I was convinced I found it through this text, and went off for lunch.
