I don’t know anything about an international observance of spaceflight. But, I DO know, that Yuri Gagarin was one brace dude. It took the USA quite a while to make an orbital mission. I’ve always respected Gagarin as a hero in the same vein as the Wright’s or Lindbergh.
That’s just my opinion.

I agree. He got there first much to our chagrin.

The Russians are a different breed.
They do some thing really well and fail miserably at others.
I would rather they be our ally than enemy.
Who ‘profits’ from keeping each country an adversary?
Just imagine the trout fishing in that vast wilderness.

He is worthy of respect. Just curious if Russia includes our pioneers in their celebrations.

Russians have a point in this. Gagarin was the first man in space.

Me too.
I wonder why he wasn’t mentioned.

And that is a fact. Yuri Gagarin lived that life as far as I have read.
There is a reason that General Stafford and General Leonov became true friends.
