Answer 1

On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (1934 1968) became the first person to travel in space. His country, the former Soviet Union, had been developing a space program over the previous decade, in part spurred on by the desire to best its rival, the United States. The two countries were in the midst of the cold war and spaceflight had become an important symbol of national superiority.
