🚀 The Space Age began on April 12, 1961. Sixty-three years ago, mankind managed to overcome terrestrial gravitation and orbited the planet. We are particularly proud to recall that Soviet citizen and the first Soviet pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin accomplished this great breakthrough.
🧑🚀 Although Gagarin was only 27 on the eve of his space mission, he had come a long way from flying with the Saratov air club to joining the first Soviet cosmonaut squad. On that memorable morning in April 1961, he blasted off into the great unknown. A photographer snapped an image of Gagarin shortly before liftoff; the cosmonaut’s face had no sign of fear and showed the famous smile of Gagarin.
Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes in outer space and completed a full orbit around the Earth. Almost no one knew that history was being made on that morning. TASS news agency did not break the news until 10:13 am.
👉 Every year, on #CosmonauticsDay, a countdown begins at 9.07 am Moscow Time until Yuri Gagarin’s safe return home.

🚀 On April 12, 1961, at 09:07 Moscow time, the Vostok spacecraft with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, marking the beginning of the space age in the history of mankind.
Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes in space, making a complete orbit around the Earth, and successfully landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region.
While in orbit, he maintained radio contact with Earth, made observations through a porthole, controlled the operation of the ship's systems, and carried out simple experiments.
📰 Even his wife did not know about this feat. The news about Yuri's flight came out only 55 minutes after the launch of the Vostok rocket, becoming the most quoted report in the world. Overnight, the Soviet citizen became the most famous man on Earth.
Two days later, many thousands of people with flowers and welcome posters took to the streets of Moscow, honouring the cosmonaut who had arrived in the capital. At the end of April, our compatriot went on a foreign tour, travelling through more than 30 countries in two years, where he was welcomed as a hero.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: For billions of people around the world, Yuri Gagarin continues to serve as an example of heroism and selflessness, inspiring them to overcome any obstacles in pursuit of the most ambitious and noble goals (Minister's video message on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight).
Gagarin's flight embodied the triumph of Soviet science and technology and was of crucial importance for further development of space exploration and the mankind.
🌐 In 1968, the 61st General Conference of the International Aviation Federation decided to celebrate April 12 as the World Day of Aviation and Astronautics, and in 2011, at the initiative of Russia, the UN General Assembly proclaimed April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight.

We might not travel that much around the country due to the vast distances, but everyone in Russia knows these places even without having ever visited them.

🇪🇹 🇸🇩 African Development Bank (AfDB) works on 1,512 km Ethiopia-Sudan rail project, reports say
The road will connect the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, with the Sudanese Red Sea port of Port Sudan. A total of 594 km of railway will be laid on Ethiopian territory, while 918 km on Sudanese territory.
Specialists have begun preparing a detailed design, including an assessment of passenger and cargo flows along the new route. At the same time, the AfDB has begun collecting applications from potential investors.
The construction of the new rail line is part of the Ethiopian government's strategy to diversify trade routes and access to seaports. Ethiopia is a landlocked country.

🪐The first man in space! Exactly 63 years ago, Yuri Gagarin flew around the Earth. The era of manned cosmonautics began from this day. Gagarin launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Vostok-1 spacecraft and landed 108 minutes later in the Saratov Region, Russia.
To millions, the cosmonaut was the embodiment of both Soviet heroism and Russian folk legend: an ordinary village guy turned world hero. Fame, however, didn't change Yuri, and many claim he stayed the same kind-hearted modest man. Learn more about him in our unique documentary 'Gagarin'.

День космонавтики - чуть на 2-й виток не ушли.
"Вызов" - кино для усидчивых - 2 часа 40 минут! Аудитория вызов приняла - смотрели, затаив дыхание.
Вообще замечательный был день. Герой России, космонавт Валерий Корзун по видеосвязи ответил на вопросы гостей The Pushkin Centre.
Взрослые написали "Звёздный диктант", молодёжь навыигрывала призов с российской космической символикой, дети на уроке русского языка занимались "ракетрстроением".
На 4-й космической скорости летим дальше!

We celebrated Yuri Gagarin's Day!
"The Challenge" movie is for the diligent - 2 hours and 40 minutes! But we accepted the challenge - watched with bated breath.
It was the wonderful day. Hero of Russia, cosmonaut Valeriy Korzun answered questions from The Pushkin Centre guests via online-call.
Adults wrote "Star Dictation", youngsters got some space prizes with Russian space logo, children were engaged in "rocket construction" at Russian language courses.
We are flying through the Universe on the 4-th cosmic speed!
