Facts- Humans have always looked up into the sky. We’ve always been fascinated by the stars, asteroids the moon and sun. In the early 60s everything changed when the first human went into space. In 1961 a cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin flew in the Vostok 1 and was the first person to fly into space. This trip made incredible discoveries to help us know today. Many other countries took interest in the idea of sending people into space. Countries like America took on the idea and sent people to the moon in 1969 and Columbia made a reusable spacecraft. They also made an international space station which people live in.

Questions- Are there any other planets that we know might be liveable for humans?

Why don’t some countries join together to send people in space?

Insight- I now see that every trip we take in space helps us understand more about space. We are learning so much about space and how we can live on other planets.
