'First orbit' shows which Yuri saw

"The feeling of weightlessness was something unusual conditions compared to Earth." Here, feeling you as if you were in a horizontal position in belt. "You feel like you are exposed to." - Yuri Gagarin on it, the first man in space

April 1961 a Russian cosmonaut with the name Yuri Gagarin space history, when he first man blast off known was in the space on board a bell-shaped capsule as Voystok 1 made 12.

In 108 minutes, he circled the Earth on the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Magellan, the Atlantic and Africa passed, before Voystok 1 of the Earth's atmosphere ended up and landed near the town of Engels, Russia.

Gagarin was a national hero overnight, and his untimely death seven years later during the pilot phase a MiG-15 fighter jet during a routine flight training was a national tragedy in the Soviet Union. But Gagarin's status as hero transcends now mother Russia: "Yuri's night" is a global Webcast firmly in his honour which takes place every year on April 12.

And this year it's a special twist to honor the 50th anniversary of that historic flight. "Yuri's night" 2011 will feature the Weltpremiere--on YouTube, not weniger-- an experimental documentary first orbit, Chris Riley, Co-Director of called in the shadow of the moon. Undertaken in cooperation with the European Space Agency, was first orbit aboard the international space station ISS Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, imposed an accomplished area photographer and is a NASA astronaut.

See, while we audio Gagarin's response, as it from orbit, the cosmonauts viewing Earth took no video recording. Riley and Nespoli wanted to correct: Nespoli new carefully created the same view, the Gagarin, at the same time of day-as far as possible, would have had in any case.

Even better, Riley made the film free of charge, so he doesnt have to recoup costs. So all we can for the first performance, tune in as he his film will be given away "for the entire humanity." tune on YouTube, if the clock midnight at the international date line schl?gt-- or you can catch one of the many Rebroadcasts as "Yuri's night" at events all over the world is celebrated.
