How Did Roak Gagarin Contribute To Space Research

Decent Essays
Yuri Gagarin will go down in history as the first human to travel to space. He was born in a humble family in western Russia and like other influential personalities in history; economic difficulties were not an impediment to achieving their dreams and achieving things that make our lives easier today. Personally, I have chosen Yuri not so much as a character, but as the space landmark and his contribution to space research.
Although people don’t know Yuri's achievement was the beginning of many discoveries which makes our lives better. If we had not taken humans into space, today we wouldn’t have viscoelastic beds because it was invented to improve the comfort in space rockets.

It is said that medicine is the second science most benefited

    It was a heavy question in every American’s mind whether this tragedy would put a stop to further travel into space especially for teachers and civilians. Reagan’s support of the space program’s continuation lifted a weight from and cleared the minds of the people in order to let them rest easy knowing that the program would continue and more space exploration would be pursued. President Ronald Reagan wrapped up his speech with remembrance, “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them.” This statement let the people know how deeply sorry he felt for all involved and that the legacy and efforts of the Challenger crew would never be forgotten and that remembrance that is necessary for each person to hold dear to their heart.…

Plato, Queen Mary, Martin Luther King—the list is endless but these great historical figures have all seen the balls of light and gas that shine in the sky tonight. That’s all they are, floating matter in a vast, unknown space we call “outer space” simply because it resides outside the front door. Space.
