Trivia Question: What is the name of the first man to enter outer space?
Answer: Yuri Gagarin
This was one of the events that heightened the tension of the Space Race. The Soviet Space Program proved that a man could safely fly to space and return to Earth. It didn’t take long afterwards for N.A.S.A. to send its own man into space.

I also enjoy reading biographies, non-fiction, and fiction (fantasy novels). My other hobby is board games and in my opinion there is nothing better than a family board game night!
