  • WHY COSMONAUTICS DAY IS IMPORTANT

          1. He made his country proud.

Gagarin successfully completed a highly delicate mission while maintaining his calm and focus. He handled the pressure of being the only man on a space flight for 108 minutes. As a result, he made his country proud.

          2. He was modest.

Gagarin was famous for being a modest man. This rare quality in a man who was so successful distinguished him from others.

          3. He was dedicated.
Even after winning multiple medals and being deemed a national hero, Gagarin refused to rest on his oars. After his flight, he began serving as a deputy to the Soviet of the Union, became deputy-training director of the Cosmonaut Training Facility, continued to work as a pilot, and even graduated cum laude from the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy. Gagarin continued to work hard despite all his achievements.
