Fifty years ago Cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin became the first human in outer space and the first to orbit the Earth. He rode the Vostok 1, designed by Sergey Korolyov. Gararin famously whistled the tune "The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows" (Russian: "Родина слышит, Родина знает"), The first two lines of the song are: "The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows/Where her son flies in the sky".
Today, Russia is a proud partner with the United States, Europe, China and other spacefaring nations in placing humans and space probes in orbit and into deep space.
