"The family in which I was born - later wrote Yuri A. - the most common; it is no different from the millions of working families of our country. "

April 12, 1961 at 9 o'clock 7 Moscow time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome launched the spacecraft "Vostok" with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. After just 108 minutes cosmonaut landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov region. Total 108 minutes lasted the first flight (compare with the duration of today's flights last for months), but the minute it was destined to be star in the biography of Gagarin.

Yuri Gagarin STATEMENT TO LAUNCH

Dear friends, relatives and strangers, countrymen, people of all countries and continents!

A few minutes later a mighty spaceship will carry me in the distant Universe. What can we say to you in these last minutes before the start? All my life it seems to me now a beautiful moment. All that is lived, what has been done before, it had lived and done for this moment. You understand that it is difficult to understand the feelings at a time when very close approached the hour of trial, to which we have been preparing long and passionately. Needless to say those feelings that I experienced when I was asked to make this the first in the history of flight. Joy? No, it was not only a joy. Pride? No, it was not only pride. I experienced great happiness. Being the first in space, to enter one by one in an unprecedented duel with nature - whether it is possible to dream big?
But after that, I thought of the enormous responsibility that fell on me. The first to make something that generations of people have dreamed the first to pave the way humanity into space ... Call me a lot on the ease of the task than the one that fell to me. This responsibility is not to be, not in front of dozens of people, not the collective. It is the responsibility of the entire Soviet people, to all mankind, prior to the present and future. And if nevertheless I have decided on this flight, it is only because I am a communist, that I have behind samples of unparalleled heroism of my fellow citizens - the Soviet people. I know that I will gather all his will to the best of the assignment. Realizing the responsibility of the task, I will do everything in my power to perform the task of the Communist Party and the Soviet people.
I am happy, going on a space flight? Of course, happy. After all, at all times and epochs for the people it was the greatest happiness to participate in new discoveries.
I would like to dedicate this first space flight of people to communism - a society in which already enters our Soviet people and which, I am sure, will take all the people in the world.
Now before the start remains a matter of minutes. I say to you, dear friends, good-bye, as always, people say to each other, going on a long journey. How I would like you all to embrace, familiar and unfamiliar, far and near!
See you soon!
