April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin's flight into space.

He said "Let's go!"

Gagarin's speech from the video "I observe the earth, distinguish the folds of the terrain, forest, rivers, clouds."

Russian Folk Song "Do You Know What Kind Of Guy He Was"
Know what kind of guy he was -
The one who opened the starry path.
There was flame and thunder, the cosmodrome froze,
And he said softly...

He said - let's go, he waved his hand,
As if along the St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, swept over the Ground.
As if along the St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, swept over the Ground.

Know what kind of guy he was,
As he loved his native fields.
In that steppe they gave the first start from the Ground
Was a declaration of love to her.

Know what kind of guy he was,
The whole world wore it on its hands.
The son of the Earth and the stars was gentle and simple,
People like Danko carried the light.

Know what kind of guy he was,
How he went out on the ice with a stick.
How he sang songs, was cheerful and brave,
How I wanted to live recklessly!

Know what kind of guy he was...
no, he wasn't, because he won death!
You hear distant thunder, you see - it's him
He goes to the cosmodrome again.

He says - let's go, and a living star,
As if along the St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, rushing over the Ground.
As if along the St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg, rushing over the Ground!
