WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The achievement of Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into space 60 years ago, helped mankind to believe all was possible, and that there are solutions to the most difficult issues on both the Earth and in space, veteran NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott told Sputnik.
Today marks the 60th anniversary of Gagarin's space flight - the first in human history. On 12 April 1961, Gagarin pronounced his famous "Poyekhali!" (Let's Go!) as the Vostok spacecraft lifted off the ground, taking the first person ever to space. After orbiting the Earth once, the re-entry module landed on the territory of what was then the Soviet Union.
