Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Yuri Gagarin from the Soviet Union was the first human in space. His vehicle, Vostok 1 circled Earth at a speed of 27, 400 kilometers per hour with the flight lasting 108 minutes. Vostok’s reentry was controlled by a computer.
Detailed explanation-2: -On July 20th we’ll celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first landing on the moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. But little will likely be said of another man who was meant to walk on the moon, Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. Leonov was part of a secret Soviet program designed to beat the Americans to the moon.
