We can say that modern <em>space exploration</em> exists because of the two countries who <em>competed</em> to reach space: the USA and the former USSR.
After the World War II <em>both countries</em> worked hard to <em>produce new space equipment</em>,<em> launch rockets into space </em>and<em> explore the universe</em>.
The Soviet Union won the first round of that competition when they put Sputnik 1 into orbit on the 4th of October, 1957. On the 12th of April, 1961, they launched the spaceship Vostok 1. This spaceship carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin who <em>made the first flight into space</em>. He <em>flew around the Earth in 1 hour 29 minutes</em>. Yuri Gagarin became a pioneer of spaceflight, putting his life on the line not just for his country, but for the human exploration of outer space. He <em>belonged to the first generation of Soviet cosmonauts </em>who were carefully selected from hundreds of air force pilots.
Gagarin's flight was a really <em>memorable event</em> and the Soviet government was <em>satisfied with the results of the experiment</em>.
