Honors to Korolev. Except that Nazi scientists were brought to Russia and Russian thruster Launcher was derived from the German V-2. both the USSR and the U.S. to Germany.

@TinyTurtie, Yes. They are the real hiroes. Glory to the rocket engineer and designer Sergei Korolev. Glory to another man contribute to astronautics, the great Wernher von Braun. A member of the Nazi party, SS major, and decorated Nazi war hero, later NASA rocket engineer and designer. The man who gave wings to Armstrong, to reach the moon.

the real credit deserves not Gagarin so much, but Sergei Korolyov, who put his life and soul to make Soviet space program a reality. Gagarin was just a passenger in predetermined flight - he didn't pilot the flight- but his ultimate achievement is bravery that he put himself into a possibly deadly mission.
