60 years ago today Yuri Gagarin became the first human to go into outer space.

When he landed in a random field, he was met by a 5-year-old girl and her grandmother, who weren't sure he was human. He was needlessly fucking ambiguous about where he'd come from and I love it.
[Gagarin continues] I come from a place very far from here [he means Moscow]
