I ve spent most of my youth dreading the Soviets. I recalled waking up in the mornings in fear of a nuclear blast, I was very anxious of the end of the world back then. The U.S. government has terrorized little children for decades and still does, with the so called national security vague argument. The cold war was indeed a giant abusive propaganda machinery hurting children mental stability and Reagan his biggest supporter. Now we have to fear the iranians, I chose to fear my cat.

This was a historical moment in space flight and as Americans or from any country we should honor"Yuri Gagarin".

i dont care where yuri is from. he is a human being. a human creature who was able to fly above the earth. an ability only angels have. in human form to witness what he saw. is a mind opener. it leaves every one watching in awe , amazement and astonishment. praise the human race.
