Hans landning p\u00e5 de gr\u00e4sbevuxna sl\u00e4tterna i centrala Ryssland bevittnades endast av en ko och tv\u00e5 f\u00f6rv\u00e5nade lantbruksarbetare. Fru Anna Takhtarova gick fram till fr\u00e4mlingen och stammar: \u201cHar du kommit fr\u00e5n yttre rymden?\u201d Jurij Gagarin svarade triumferande: \u201cJa. Kan du tro det? Det har jag verkligen!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Den unge mannen som skrev historia den dagen f\u00f6ddes i en by i v\u00e4stra Sovjetunionen. Hans far var snickare och tiderna var sv\u00e5ra. Efter att familjen flyttat till en n\u00e4rliggande stad gick Yuri p\u00e5 h\u00f6gskola och arbetade p\u00e5 en metallfabrik. Han gick ocks\u00e5 med i en flygklubb och l\u00e4rde sig flyga l\u00e4tta flygplan. Han gick snart med i flygvapnet och b\u00f6rjade flyga jetplan. V\u00e5ren 1960 antogs han till en grupp p\u00e5 20 piloter som skulle utbildas till framtida 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 \u00e5terintr\u00e4deskapsel efter landningen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Efter ett \u00e5r av intensiv tr\u00e4ning fick den 27-\u00e5rige flygvapenl\u00f6jtnanten beskedet att han skulle bli den f\u00f6rsta m\u00e4nniskan att flyga ut i rymden. Det avg\u00f6rande \u00f6gonblicket kom fyra dagar senare n\u00e4r han kl\u00e4ttrade in i en sf\u00e4risk Vostok-kapsel som var monterad p\u00e5 toppen av en h\u00f6g raket. \u00c5sk\u00e5darna h\u00f6ll andan n\u00e4r motorerna t\u00e4ndes och raketen f\u00f6rsvann \u00f6ver den \u00f6stra horisonten. \u201cJag ser jorden!

Gagarin sk\u00f6t ut sig p\u00e5 en h\u00f6jd av 6 km och avslutade sin otroliga resa under en b\u00f6ljande fallsk\u00e4rm.<\/p>\n<p>Den unge hj\u00e4lten blev v\u00e4rldsber\u00f6md, men han fl\u00f6g aldrig ut i rymden igen. Gagarin omkom n\u00e4r hans flygplan st\u00f6rtade under en rutinm\u00e4ssig tr\u00e4ningsflygning den 27 mars 1968. Mer \u00e4n 500 personer fr\u00e5n m\u00e5nga l\u00e4nder har f\u00f6ljt i hans fotsp\u00e5r. Den senaste uppskjutningen till den internationella rymdstationen \u00e4gde rum fr\u00e5n samma startplatta som Gagarins ber\u00f6mda flygning.
