Between 1958 and 1960, the Soviet Union identified possible candidates (mostly military pilots) for manned space flight. Although the early flights were to use automated controls, they needed men familiar with flight systems and radio communications. Yuri Gagarin was at the time a Lieutenant in the Soviet Air Force and volunteered to participate. Eventually he became the leading choice for the first manned space flight. On April 12, 1961, he was launched into orbit of the Earth.

Yuri Gagarin's first mission was also his last. He was launched, made almost but not quite one single earth orbit, landed 1 hour and 48 minutes after launch, and never flew again. His duties during that time consisted of looking out the window, describing what he saw and how he felt, and uttering various other phrases, exclamations, and sound bites for the benefit of the politicians and reporters with whom he was in radio contact. He had no control over the flight, and performed no scientific experiments.
