An Orbiter film by Unstung for the 50th anniversary of Vostok 1.
Восток-1 Юрий Гагарин Космодром Байконур
Vostok 1 carried the first human, Yuri Gagarin, a cosmonaut, to space on April 12, 1961. His Soviet Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Not only was Gagarin the first human to space, he also orbited the Earth once. After having problems during the reentry, Gagarin was ejected seven kilometers above the surface to parachute back down to Earth. The capsule impacted the ground after its parachute opened at a lower altitude and was recovered. Yuri Gagarin died in 1968 from a crash of his MiG-15.

  • very cool

  • @Unstung So be it that’s your choice. peace.

  • @Zantaer Oh, you, you'd do this. Haha. I'm not doing that anyways.

  • @Unstung OMFG, haven't you ever read 1984 or Fahrenheit 451?! It stars with censoring some things, but where are you gonna draw the line? Censorship just installs hatred turns people into mindless sheep. I won't stand for this. It's unconstitutional and totally goes against what the founding fathers meant for my country. You set comments to "pending for approval" and next thing you know you're killing other inferior races, like the blacks. You can't hide people from the truth forever.

  • @EmpireLS56KW Oh, thanks for the heads-up on LindaTheDog1 and trolls. I thought he/she was serious. I don't receive many comments, let alone trolls, so I can manage without setting the comments to pending approval for now.

  • @Unstung I shouldn't bother with LindaTheDog1 is a TROLL i just checked the account and its been deleted. Why don't you delete the trolls comment and then set comments pending approval this will be message to all TROLLS and they won't bother you again.

    Excellent video and by the way most people know how he died in plane crash its the trolls that want to argue and there not worth the space on this site. peace.
