April 12, 1961, marked the day of humanity’s first successful flight into space. 60 years ago, Yuri Gagarin, a former Soviet astronaut, made a complete orbital flight around earth. Subsequently, there were many more milestones in space activities such as the first spacewalk, first human landing on the moon and the first female astronaut to enter space!
