Yuri's Day

Happy Birthday, Yuri Gagarin! The first man in space would have been 80 today (he died in an unfortunate plane crash in 1968). He flew in Vostok 1 - basically an ejection seat wrapped in a pressurized ball. As I sit here tonight, watching the premier of the new Cosmos series, I think that I still want to go see it all, but not in that!
