Yuri Gagarin was the first human to circle the earth in an orbiting spacecraft.
He was 27 years old at the start of the mission. He was also 27 years old at the
end of the mission, since he was only off the ground for 1 hour and 48 minutes.
That single spaceflight was the only one he ever made.
Yuri Gagarin died on March 27, 1968, in a plane crash while on a routine training flight. He was 34 years old at the time of his death.
Yes it is a boys name. Yuri Geller, a mind bender became quite famous with that name. (additional answer) There were also Yuri Gagarin and Yuri Andropov.
Yuri Gagarin made his one and only space flight in April of 1961. He was launched, made a little less than one complete orbit of the Earth, landed about an hour and a half after launch, and never left Earth's atmosphere again after that.
He was a Russian cosmonaut and the first man into space in April 1961
