Episode 5 - First Man in Space
Listen now
Description
Until April 12, 1961, nobody had known what the outer space would do to a human being. Some people thought that it would cause insanity; others, blindness. But the first human ever to go there returned home with only the slight side effect of the confusion caused by his sudden promotion to major. Listen to the story of the first man in space, a Soviet pilot named Yuri Gagarin!
