Well hard to believe but 42 years ago tommorow russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was rocketed into space beginning the age of manned space flight. Although he only made one orbit of the earth he began it all.

I wish I had had more room on my most significant events timeline, because it would have been on it.

I told everyone about space flight beginning 42 years ago that day and they kinda expected something like that from me by now

Sounds like the typical response i get when i tell people stuff like that they expect it from me and just don't care.

Yes, people tend to stop listening to me when I get all excited about anything space. I got the "who is yuri ga-something" response when I announced to my entire history class that spaceflight had begun 42 years ago on that day. Ha! I thought it was highly relavent to the topic considering it was history class.

People only care about the space program after an accident. It really is sad.
