    April 12 is YurirCOs Night.

    From Wikipedia:

    "Yuri's Night is an international celebration held every April 12 to commemorate milestones in space exploration. It is named for
    the first human to launch into space, Yuri Gagarin, who flew the
    Vostok 1 spaceship on April 12, 1961."

    Technically all humans are in space, they just don't see it like that.

    But that's not a quibble with what Mr. Gagarin did.
