In 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight in dedication to the first manned space flight made on April 12, 1961 by Yuri Gagarin. Gagarin circled the Earth for 1 hour and 48 minutes aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft. On April 12, 1981, exactly 20 years after Vostok 1, a Space Shuttle (STS-1, Columbia) was launched for the first orbital flight.
Today, on the International Day of Human Space Flight, DEVAR BOOKS releases the Space encyclopedia. Now you don't need a spacecraft for the journey, just use your phone or tablet to get to the space and feel yourself like a real astronaut!
