First Space Flight By Yuri Gagarin Video

The first space flight was done by the then Soviet (USSR) (now Russia) cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961. No, I dont want you to tell the story of the first flight. But I want to show you the magnificent video of that first space flight. How many of you might have seen that? This video is created by the team of http://www.firstorbit.org/ mixing the original voice of Yuri Gagarin from that flight and the original music by Philip Sheppard. The video was shot from ISS (International Space Station).

Watch the video its just amazing — a flight of fantasy!
