Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin [ 9 March 1934 ­ 27 March 1968]
                  was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut.

                  
He was the first human to
                  journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed
                  an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961.

                  
Gagarin became an international
                  celebrity, and was awarded many medals and titles, including
                  Hero of the Soviet Union, the nation's highest honour.

                  
Vostok 1 marked his only
                  spaceflight, but he served as backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission
                  (which ended in a fatal crash).

                  
Gagarin later became deputy
                  training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre outside Moscow.
