Contest Directions: 
Human Spaceflight became a reality on April 12, 1961, with the launch of a bell-shaped capsule called "Vostok 1." Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space! Yuri made his historic 108 minute flight (orbiting around the whole Earth once) and parachute landed near his Vostok 1 capsule in the plains of Russia. This flight made him the first human to orbit the Earth and an international hero. Yuri was only 27 years old.
Exactly 20 years later, the United States embarked on a new era in spaceflight with the inaugural launch of a new type of spaceship — the Space Shuttle. Designed to carry a larger crew and large volumes of cargo to orbit, the Space Shuttles became synonymous with human spaceflight for an entirely new generation of young people.
Today, all over the country and world people are celebrating space and exploration!!!
To celebrate the 49th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, add space theme to any movie or work of art (painting, drawing, fresco). Think of spaceships, astronauts, parties on the moon, and anything related to space exploration!
