Space is often seen as the future of humanity, and its exploration is considered one of the most promising areas of human activity.
A few decades ago, human presence in space was impossible; on 12 April 1961, it became a reality with the launch of the first human-powered spacecraft into Earth orbit.
This remarkable event was preceded by the long work of many aerospace specialists, including the general designer of the spacecraft, Sergey Korolev. On this day, we learnt interesting facts about the first flight and cooked a dish that astronauts eat during a cooking class.
