BIG QUESTION

BIG QUESTION:

If you are given a chance, which planet or satellite would you like to explore?

The First Man in Space

Yuri Gagarin was the first person to fly in space. His flight, on April 12, 1961, lasted 108 minutes as he circled the Earth for a little more than one orbit in the Soviet Union's Vostok spacecraft. Following the flight, Gagarin became a cultural hero in the Soviet Union. Even today, more than six decades after the historic flight, Gagarin is widely celebrated in Russian space museums, with numerous artifacts, busts and statues displayed in his honor. 

Gagarin's flight came at a time when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for technological supremacy in space. The Soviet Union had already sent the first artificial satellite, called Sputnik, into space in October 1957. Before Gagarin's mission, the Soviets sent a test flight into space using a prototype of the Vostok spacecraft. During this flight, they sent a life-size dummy called Ivan Ivanovich and a dog named Zvezdochka into space. After the test flight, the Soviet's considered the vessel fit to take a human into space.

Q.1. How did Russians and Americans work on the possibility of travelling in space? 

1. They sent satellites out in space.
2. They launched several rockets which went around the Earth above the top of air.

Q2. What were the special training programs that Yuri Gagarin had to undergo before travelling to space? 

1. He had to learn the use of the scientific instruments in the spacecraft as well as about rockets.
2. He had to learn aerobic exercises.
3. He was given very tough physical training.
4. He had to learn how to operate a plane.

Q3. How did “zero gravity” experience of weightlessness was given to Yuri Gagarin? 

1. The express lift of the great Moscow University building was used to give him a drop of 500 feet at high speed.
2. He found himself hanging between the floor and the ceiling of the lift without support.
3. In this way 'zero gravity' was created.
4. All of the above.

Q4. How did Gagarin create history?

Q5. What do you mean by 

A) gravitational force 

 B) porthole and  

C)descent? 

Q6. Why do astronauts tend to float in space? 

Q7. Which means of transport is used to travel in space? Do you ever wonder on which principle of force does a rocket or spacecraft works?

Which important values do we learn from the story of "The First Man in Space"?
