Mock us, viciously. It is the only way.

that's some pharmaceutical grade cope right there

I’m quite sure that Gagarin actually landed after going to space, not like he’s still up in the air somewhere. Having to be in the launch craft when you land is such a ridiculous technicality lmao nobody should take that seriously. Like he went to space and came back, and he was the first person to do so, nobody can dispute that.

I'm sorry I can't hear your dumb yankee bullshit from up here

Okay, then none of the Challenger Astronauts count.

i love the kerbal-ass way they had to eject before landing. if it works it works

And it took the Americans almost another year to achieve an orbital flight

But they did learn some things

In addition, due to the lessons learnt from the previous two manned flights, MA-6 was the first American spaceflight to include a dedicated urine collection device

First person in orbit: Yuri Gagarin

Second person in orbit: Gherman Titov

Amerikkka took third place in a one on one race
