YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEduard Artemyev - Theme from Siberiade
60 years ago today, April 8th, Yuri Gagarin was chosen as the crewman for the Vostok 1 mission, with Gherman Titov as his backup. 4 days later he would become the first man in space, completing a single orbit over the course of just over an hour.
"As his close friend and cosmonaut colleague Alexei Leonov tells it, then-premier Nikita Khrushchev cornered Gagarin "So tell me, Yuri," he asked, "did you see God up there?" After a moment's pause Gagarin answered, "Yes sir, I did." Khrushchev frowned. "Don't tell any one.""
Apparently the BBC has the balls to straight up deny uploading the HD versions of some of this footage because apparently sharing one of the most important events in history is something only they should have the privilege of doing, despite showing no interest in doing so... So I spend 6 hours tracking down the older versions to fill the gaps.
