His remotely controlled Vostok 1 spacecraft lofted him to an altitude of 200 miles and carried him once around planet Earth. Commenting on the first view from space he reported, "The sky is very dark; the Earth is bluish. Everything is seen very clearly". Alan Shepard, the first US astronaut, would not be launched until almost a month later and then on a comparatively short suborbital flight. Born on March 9, 1934, Gagarin was a military pilot before being chosen for the first group of cosmonauts in 1960. As a result of his historic flight he became an international hero and legend. Killed when his MIG jet crashed during a training flight on March 27, 1968, Gagarin was given a hero's funeral, his ashes interred in the Kremlin Wall. On yet another April 12th, in 1981, NASA launched the first space shuttle. digg_url = 'http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080412.html'; digg_skin = 'compact'; Credit & Copyright zorg.ch #111156 by IneX @ 23.10.2009 19:56, edited @ 23.10.2009 19:57 - nach oben - Hmmm... schaut mal, was Apple da für ein Bild im kürzlich verschickten Newsletter auf den neuen iMac gepflanzt hat: Ein anonymer APOD-Fan bei Apple's Marketingabteilung? ;-) zorg.ch #111158 by Squeezer @ 23.10.2009 20:12 - nach oben - Isch no e geili Uflösig, das mueni mol mit 2560x1024 teschte. zorg.ch #106414 by IneX @ 13.04.2008 18:41 - nach oben - hoppla, da isch jo ziemli geil zorg.ch #106420 by domi @ 14.04.2008 08:11 - nach oben - ha gad au e neus hintergrundbild zorg.ch #106421 by hans @ 14.04.2008 08:12 - nach oben - goht nöd. i has scho. zorg.ch #106425 by IneX @ 14.04.2008 22:44 - nach oben - i bi eh zerscht gsii. zorg.ch #106428 by hans @ 15.04.2008 08:22 - nach oben - i has däfür über zwei bildschirm. zorg.ch #106422 by [z]bert @ 14.04.2008 09:43 - nach oben - weri nais, weri nais!
