No the traveled in space alone.
Yuri gagarin had nicknames
Yuri Gagarin. this is for the homework diary. winning an ipad!
he did not have kids, but he was the one who discovered cats were part reptiles.
At the time of Yuri Gagarin's orbital flight in 1961, the USSR was officially atheist. Referring to Gagarin's flight in a speech some time later, Khruschev said that Gagarin " ... didn't see any god up there". If Gagarin's personal convictions differed from the USSR's official policy, he kept them to himself. Gagarin has been dead now for over 40 years.
Yuri Gagarin made his one and only space flight in 1961. He was launched from Russia, made a single orbit of the earth, and landed 1hour and 48minutes after launch. He never came in contact with any object in the solar system other than the earth. But that shouldn't be a big disappointment. As of April 2010, No human being has ever yet 'visited' any planet other than the earth.

The first astronaut in space was the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in April of 1961. His flight lasted for 108 minutes in which he orbited Earth once. The first American in space was Alan Shepard in May of 1961.
yes, he liked soccer
Yuri Gagarin was a great celebrity and a great public-relations tool for the worldwide perception and reputation of the Soviet Union. The USSR and Communism in general were strongly atheistic, so if Gagarin had any significant religious tendencies, they were strongly hidden from view by his handlers. One time, while referring to Gagarin's one and only space flight, Soviet Premier Khruschev reported that Gagarin had remarked during his orbital flight "Everything around me up here is beautiful, and I see no sign of any god."

Yuri Gagarin flew into space aboard a Vostok spacecraft, orbiting the earth once before returning to earth. Following the Vostok 1 flight, Soviet officials tried to keep him away from any flights, being worried of losing their hero in an accident. Gagarin was backup pilot for his friend Vladimir Komarov, in the Soyuz 1 flight, which was launched despite Gagarin's protests that additional safety precautions were necessary. When Komarov's flight ended in a fatal crash, Gagarin was permanently banned from training for and participating in further spaceflights. Gagarin was killed when his MIG-15UTI crashed on March 27, 1968 while in a routine training flight from Chkalovsky Air Base.

Yuri Gagarin was sent into space as part of a propaganda plot by the Soviet Union to send the first human into space. At the time of his flight, Gagarin, who was only 27 years old, and while extremely smart, lacked the piloting experience of NASA's Mercury astronauts. Gagarin spent 6 months training for his mission, while the Mercury astronauts spent 2 years. The Mercury astronauts piloted their spacecraft while Gagarin was little more than a passenger in space, unable to control or manipulate the spacecraft in any way. The Soviets were great at grabbing the headlines, even if it meant risking the lives of those inside the spacecraft.
He was an only child. He did have brothers and sisters in law.
Not yet so far..:-)because its not possible to a human to go onto a space without any spacecraft... but The first man who jumped in an earth's orbit with a spacecraft is "YURI GAGARIN"
