Happy Cosmonaut Day
i honestly forgot it was today
as someone else put it better than I could:
_On this day (at least, an hour from now by my clock), we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the flight of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who, on April 12, 1961, became the first man to orbit the earth. He blazed the trail for the future of the human exploration and conquest of space. May his memory live on in our hearts and minds, to inspire us to further our knowledge of and dominion over the universe!
Rest in Peace, Yuri Gagarin. _
