People are really interested in discovering what is present outside of the universe, so space explorations are fascinating. On April 12, 1961, Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in a Vostok spacecraft, making him the first human in space. After that, there are still a lot of explorations to be done, and there are still a lot of questions about space to be answered.
