How UN Marked International Day of Human Space Flight
United Nations marked the International Day of Human Space Flight on Monday, celebrating the achievements of astronauts who are “stretching the boundaries” of where civilisation can go, beyond the stratosphere.
Observed annually on April 12, the International Day commemorates the date in 1961 when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin carried out the first-ever human space flight, opening a way for space exploration for the benefit of all humanity.
In a message, Director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA), Simonetta Di Pippo said that 60 years ago, “a new era for humanity began – with sky no longer the limit”.
Rogozin Criticizes US State Department For Failing to Mention First Man in Space Tue 13th April 2021 | 06:00 AM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th April, 2021) The head of Russia s space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, has criticized the International Day of Human Space Flight release of the US State Department on Facebook, which makes no mention of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space.
