50 years ago today a historic event took place and here on Hacker Public Radio we take time out to celebrate the occaision with recordings of the Radio communications between Yuri Gagarin, Sergei Korolev and Ground Control during launch. Then we listen to a 45 rpm record at the Soviet Exhibition in London in 1961.

After this we listen to the The flight of Vostok 1 as described on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok_1 and play a promo for the film "first orbit" https://www.firstorbit.org/watch-the-film been released as part of Yuris Night https://www.yurisnight.net/ a world wide celebration of the event.

To close with the biography of Yuri Gagarin from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin.

Very compelling episode

I never knew any of this. I know it was just a computer reading Wikipedia, but I could feel my heart rate increase just a bit during this "reading." Excellent selection. Thanks Ken.

On the contrairy

I am very real, and you can't stop me. You're traveling through space right now, and you're not even trying.

Klaatu, on the other hand, does not exist. He is a recursive figment of his own imagination.

Unbelievable

Hearing Gagarin's voice during that flight is...amazing. Truly, he was speaking from the frontier. Everyone who's ever gone into space since, whether into orbit, to the ISS, or even to the moon, has in some way been following Yuri. But that day, he was truly going where no man had gone before.

Great show, Ken.
