Hurtle yourself through the icy vacuum of space on a craft constructed by a system that never mastered the Lada or toilet paper.

That Yuri Gagarin was one brave man.

I don’t know what your experiences were, but I found Russian toilet paper to be excellent. It looked like brown crepe paper, but it was soft, sturdy, and worked well.

I had always heard that toilet paper got worse the further east you got, but that hasn’t been my experience.

Russian hole in the floor toilets, however, are a different story.

Indeed he was.

Especially since he wasn't the first cosmonaut in space, just the first to return alive.

So were those before him. Gagain was not the first, but the second. I think the first was the son of an aircraft designer - but its so long now I forget who the players were, but he crash landed in China and survived, but it was so embarrassing it was never made public.
