Today marks 58 years since the world sent our very first human into space - Yuri Gagarin. Last year I was able to travel to Moscow, Russia and view the location where his ashes are buried: The Kremlin. It was absolutely surreal seeing his name along the Kremlin Wall. Grateful to the team who brought this brave man into space - they kicked off an incredible era of human space exploration.
🚀..
This trip was part of the most extreme #StudentAstronaut episode of #XplorationOuterSpace that we'd ever done. Our winner, directorleegiat, was flown to Star City to train like a Cosmonaut at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. One of my favorite trips we've ever done with my show. 🚀 📸: karapearltv
