Yuri Gagarin

I want to tell the story of a illustrious Russian man, Yuri Gugarin. A lot people know him because he was the first man in space.It was on the 12th April 1961.
Before Gagarin there were 2 space rockets.
The first was a rocket without people or animals. It was just a rocket with a satellite (Sputnik). This sputnik sent signals to the earth and scientists knew the flight had been completed.
The second space flight was with 2 dogs, Belka and Strelka. They returned safely.
Gagarin was the first man to orbit the earth and was in space for 108 minutes.
108 minutes that changed the world!
