On April 12, 1961, the most fantastic and daring dream of mankind came true - a flight into space. Senior Lieutenant Yuri Gagarin on the Vostok-1 spacecraft circled the Earth at an altitude of 302 kilometres at a speed of about 28 thousand kilometres per hour. The first cosmonaut returned to Earth as a major. Gagarin's flight lasted only 108 minutes. But these minutes turned the whole world upside down, all ideas about the possible and the impossible. The planet applauded Gagarin, it was a real triumph of Soviet science. An unprecedented flow of glory fell upon the first cosmonaut. Gagarin overnight became a hero not only of the Soviet Union, but of the entire planet.Immediately after the flight into space, Yuri Alekseevich received thousands of letters and telegrams with congratulations. This is one this letter we are offering for sale.
