Presentation transcript:

Yuri Gagarin was the first man to ever go into space! Gagarin’s spacecraft, Vostok 1 completed one orbit Earth, and landed about two hours after launch.

Fruit flies were the first animals to get launched into space. They were used to study the effects of space.

This is a Lunar Rover it is electric powered, and has top speed of 8mph! It was designed and developed in only seven months, by Boeing. The areoplane company famous for making the Jumbo Jet!

By the 1959 both American and Russian scientists were in a race to get a space craft to the moon. The Russians made it first! Space-probe Luna 2 crash landed into the moon at a speed that would kill an astronaut if one had been travelling in it! It was ten more years until a human visited the moon’s surface.

In 2000 the first permanent crew moved into the International Space Station (ISS), where crews of astronauts have been living ever since.
