Hans landing p\u00e5 de gr\u00e6skl\u00e6dte sletter i det centrale Rusland blev kun overv\u00e6ret af en ko og to forbl\u00f8ffede landarbejdere. Fru Anna Takhtarova gik hen imod den fremmede og stammede: \u201cEr du kommet fra det ydre rum?\u201d Jurij Gagarin svarede triumferende: \u201cJa. Kan du tro det? Det har jeg sandelig!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Den unge mand, der skrev historie den dag, blev f\u00f8dt i en landsby i den vestlige del af Sovjetunionen. Hans far var t\u00f8mrer, og tiderne var h\u00e5rde. Efter at hans familie var flyttet til en n\u00e6rliggende by, gik Yuri p\u00e5 universitetet og arbejdede p\u00e5 en metalfabrik. Han meldte sig ogs\u00e5 ind i en flyveklub og l\u00e6rte at flyve letfly. Han meldte sig snart ind i luftv\u00e5bnet og begyndte at flyve jetfly. I for\u00e5ret 1960 blev han optaget i en gruppe p\u00e5 20 piloter, der skulle uddannes til fremtidige kosmonauter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"999\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2011\/03\/Vostok_1_s_reentry_capsule_after_landing2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2011\/03\/vostok_1_s_reentry_capsule_after_landing2\/17902308-2-eng-GB\/Vostok_1_s_reentry_capsule_after_landing.jpg\" alt=\"Vostok 1&#x27;s reentry capsule after landing\"><figcaption>Vostok 1's tilbagevendelseskapsel efter landingen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Efter et \u00e5r med intensiv tr\u00e6ning fik den 27-\u00e5rige l\u00f8jtnant i luftv\u00e5bnet at vide, at han skulle blive den f\u00f8rste mand i rummet. Sandhedens \u00f8jeblik kom fire dage senere, da han klatrede ind i en kugleformet Vostok-kapsel, der var monteret p\u00e5 toppen af en t\u00e5rnh\u00f8j raket. Tilskuerne holdt vejret, da motorerne t\u00e6ndte, og raketten forsvandt over den \u00f8stlige horisont. \u201cJeg kan se Jorden! Den er s\u00e5 smuk!\u201d udbr\u00f8d verdens f\u00f8rste rumrejsende.<\/p>\n<p>78 minutter efter opsendelsen blev Vostok-kapselens motorer t\u00e6ndt, og kapslen blev sendt tilbage ind i atmosf\u00e6ren. Gagarin sprang ud i en h\u00f8jde af 6 km og afsluttede sin utrolige rejse under en b\u00f8lgende faldsk\u00e6rm.<\/p>\n<p>Den unge helt blev verdensber\u00f8mt, men han fl\u00f8j aldrig i rummet igen. Gagarin omkom, da hans fly styrtede ned under en rutinem\u00e6ssig tr\u00e6ningsflyvning den 27. marts 1968. Mere end 500 mennesker fra mange lande har fulgt i hans fodspor. Den seneste opsendelse til Den Internationale Rumstation fandt sted fra samme affyringsrampe som Gagarins ber\u00f8mte flyvning. P\u00e5 siden af raketten var der malet et billede af det f\u00f8rste menneske, der kredsede om Jorden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 10.55 am on the morning of 12 April 1961, a man wearing an orange flight suit and a white helmet drifted towards Earth under a large parachute.
