"Gagarin helped us, designers, become pilots"
George Grechko in an interview with Gazeta yesterday Yuri Gagarin would have turned 75 years old. He was born in the Smolensk region on March 9, 1934. But the whole world is known for another date - April 12, 1961, when a person first went into space. Gagarin stayed in orbit for 108 minutes, making one revolution around the Earth. The Cosmonaut Hero of the Soviet Union, Cosmonaut Georgy Grechko, shared his memories of the day of the first flight in an interview with the newspaper correspondent.
