Sergei Korolev, the chief architect of the Soviet space program told him on the radio: "Launch! We wish you a successful flight. Everything is fine." "Poyekhali" said Gagarin (we are taking off)."
50 years ago, on April 12, 1961, the era of manned spaceflight opened with the thunderous launch of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft from the Baikonur Space Center at 09:07 Moscow time. Gagarin, who was only 27 years old at the time, dared to cross the border into the unknown and became the first person to enter a capsule on top of a rocket, flew into outer space and saw what no one before him had seen - the entire Earth as a sphere. This is the most daring test flight by any standard, and the effect of weightlessness had been tested up to that time on dogs, not humans.
Sergei Korolev, the chief architect of the Soviet space program told him on the radio: "Launch! We wish you a successful flight. Everything is fine." "We are taking off," said Gagarin.
Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency invited anyone who has any memorabilia - document, photo and other information to share with the agency. And she did respond.
Gagarin's flight lasted 108 minutes and included only one lap around the Earth. The mission came to an end with the return to the atmosphere through the activation of engines intended for this return. Gagarin ejected from the capsule at an altitude of 7 kilometers due to the capsule landing which was expected to be too difficult for humans. He fell safely to the ground. Since 1962, April 12 has been considered Cosmonauts' Day, which is celebrated in Russia to this very day.
Tragically, Gagarin ended his life on March 27, 1968. He was flying a routine flight aboard a MiG-15 fighter jet along with flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin when their plane crashed near the city of Kirzach. Gagarin was laid to rest at the Kremlin wall on Red Square in Moscow.

Hello friends
Yuri Gagarin, a Jew, is my Septa's uncle, the last name is different
From Shaulov to Gagarin in the First World War she has pictures
His and the family's I want to change it on Wikipedia as well,
So friends, is the first man in space Jewish?
to 2
All your sages are Jewish, but you are not like that.
His mother was Jewish and therefore he is Jewish, but on this flight there was a terrible Shabbat desecration and he had to refuse to do it!!
As someone who knows Russian, the appropriate translation for Gagarin's answer is "we went". If he was Israeli, he would surely have said "Let's travel". By the way, the phrase entered Russian slang.
