fuckyeahspace: kafekafe: Just imagine sitting in that cabin, all alone with the infinity of SPACE waiting for you. This is Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. He had much to say about his experience, including remarks about not seeing God in the clouds and on preserving the overwhelming beauty of our planet. His notes during his flight were scrawled messily and his thoughts were all over. He’d later say his notes were inaccurate because nothing could describe the beauty of the Earth and the pride he felt in Soviet ingenuity at that moment. After he landed from his reentry, the gathered public thought he was non-human; they were afraid of him at first because of superstition that has defined the collective human mind for 100,000 years. Alas, he died in a plane crash a few years later while performing routine military training. This is cool, not only for the content but because I live on gagarin street.
