Watch First Orbit Movie
Here comes a great documentary movie about Yuri Gagarin's pioneering journey into outer space. Youtube made this movie for the 50th anniversary of Gagarin's flight around the orbit of the world in a Soviet spacecraft named Vostok. This is the recreation of that story with original footage from International Space Station. Watch it below:
Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, completed an orbit of the Earth on April 12, 1961 and became an international celebrity since then. He holds the title of being the first human being in outer space. He died in a jet crash in 1968, seven years after his space journey.
His early death leaves plenty of food for conspiracy theorists. Another point of speculation is his alleged comment of "I don't see any God up here." But those words were never found on the records.
What's your take? Do you think there is a secret behind his early death?
