On Saturday October 15th T-LA Program (Alternative Leisure) in collaboration with the Astronomical Association of Cartagena, organizes a Solar Observing the 50th anniversary of the first space flight of Yuri Gagarin.
The activity will start from the 11.00 h and 13.00 h to the main entrance of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena Campus Muralla (Port).
The anniversary of the first spaceflight was celebrated this year, after the April 12, 1961 cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space aboard the Vostok 1.
Donned his orange suit, entered through a hatch in the room where a spherical shape would make the trip.
The great journey.
The first trip.
Perhaps he would die there.
No one had ever been up there.
No one had flown or as high or as fast as expected he would.
He sat in his seat inside the sphere.
The surveyed and settled.
We waited two hours in there waiting while they checked communications with ground control.
These are perhaps the thoughts and feelings
Yuri Gagarin
in the final minutes before starting their flight into the unknown.
