Yes, he was first but he also was used as propaganda for communism which is responsible for murdering 100s of millions and enslaved 1/4 of the world's population at the time. So in essense it's a celebration of mass murder and the State enslaving humanity. Funny but we don't celebrate the scientific achievements of those other notorious socialists, -the Nazis. Probably only because they waged war against the communists.

I don't recall them celebrating Neal Armstrong or July 20, 1969.

And despite all of that he was still first.

The horror of the Soviet Union produced a few exceptional men.

Google must be stopped! Gay Communist Midget day is just around the corner, no telling what horrific images Google will bombard us with that day.

The horror. The horror.

I think you mean the Soviets were first. It's rather ironic to credit an individual with such an achievement when he was a citizen of a nation which denied the existence of individualism. Especially so when one considers it was a government program which put him in order. However, extreme irony and contradiction are recurrent themes in communism.

Google may celebrate Yuri Gagarin -as the Soviets did, but it is really Marxism-Leninism's achievement -and celebration.

Sad that we hardly ever commemorate Edward White, Virgil "Gus" Grissom, and Roger Chaffee.

Their Germans were better than our Germans.

The History Channel did a series about the Apollo missions a couple years back — did a real nice job too. Gene Kranz recounting the horrors of the Apollo One mission had me real choked up and everyone who was interviewed about really honored this flight crew with their memories. It still amazes me that NASA got a man to the moon less than two years later.
