Today, 12 of April, 52 years ago Yuri Gagarin (U.S.S.R) was the first man in the space. So I post this song about him of the great italian ska band, Banda Bassotti. 

Oggi 12 aprile 1961 alle 9 e 07 ora di mosca dal cosmodromo di baikonur unione repubbliche socialiste sovietiche, lancia l’astronave vostok 1 per il primo viaggio spaziale pur orbitando nel pianeta terra.. radio vostok .. radio vostok

Un astronauta figlio di un carpentiere, Juri Gagarin figlio dell’ottobre rosso.
Sempre più su, sempre più su non vedo angeli nel cielo, sempre più su, sempre più su niente maria niente gesù, sempre più su sempre più su la falce insieme col martello, sempre più, sempre più su, sempre più su.

"I am a friend, comrades, a friend!"

- Yuri Gagarin’s first words upon returning to earth, to a woman and a girl near where his capsule landed. (12 April 1961) The woman asked: “Can it be that you have come from outer space?” to which Gagarin replied: “As a matter of fact, I have!” (via asonlynasacan)

As there’s only one Yuri’s Night event in my country and it’s on the other side of the country, I’ll have to celebrate it at home. :)

You can celebrate it online with us: Space Hipsters!

Yay, thanks! Just joined it!
