Commemorating Yury Gagarin

Today we will talk about Yuri Gagarin. On 12 April 1961, he became the first human in space. Seven years later he died tragically in a crash during a training flight. On March 9, Gagarin would have turned 75. What kind of person was he? Why was he selected to become the first man in space? We’ll be talking about it with his personal friend and colleague, one of the first cosmonauts, Victor Gorbatko.
