🚀April 12 marks Cosmonautics Day in Russia, honoring Yuri Gagarin’s legendary 1961 spaceflight — the first time a human journeyed into space. 🌍 🇷🇺 Cosmonautics Day was established in 1962 and remains a powerful symbol of Russia’s contributions to space exploration. ✨ Interestingly, South Africa also pays tribute to Gagarin’s legacy: On October 21, 2021, Wits University in Johannesburg, together with the Russian Embassy, unveiled a bust of Yuri Gagarin at the Wits Planetarium. This event marked the 60th anniversary of human spaceflight and the 60th anniversary of the Planetarium itself—a celebration of two great journeys into the unknown. 🪐 #RussiaSouthAfrica#History
