50th Anniversary – First Human In Space
I’m a big fan of the big blueish black thing up there so anything that has anything to do with space is awesomeness to the maximuss to me. The Russian capsule has docked with the ISS ( International Space Station) and these Russians, Andrey Borisenko and Alexander Samokutyaev and American Ronald Garan Jr , are settling in for a 5 month mission as we speak. They join 3 astronauts ( a Russian, an American and an Italian).
The linkup took place 350km above the Andes Mountains of Chile
On Tuesday, these 6 men will mark the 50th Anniversay of the first Human in Space. The first human in space was Russian Cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin. Funny enough April 12th is not only the 50th anniversary of the first human in space, it is also the 30th anniversary of the first shuttle launch into space.
This is not a big thing for many people but entering space, landing on the moon and exploring our solar system from earth is , in my mind, one of the humans race’s greatest accomplishments. So on Tuesday, I wil take my Asstastic ass, park it on my balcony, get the telescope, one glass of wine and one Mahpicki to mark these anniversaries in my own special way.
