Space, the final frontier during the 20th century! Space exploration included sending humans into space, putting men on the moon, and eventually creating space shuttles and space stations. One of the most significant accomplishments of this “space race” was when astronaut, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to enter into space. This is what the celebration of Yuri’s Night is all about!
