Did you know there is no air in space?
A mission is a trip you take in space. You use a spacecraft to get around.
The first spacecraft was called Sputnik. It was metal and the size of a basketball.
It orbited (traveled around) Earth in 1957.
Buster, I love your site! Did you know that the 1st living creature (that we know of)in space was a Russian dog named, Laika. She made a 7 day journey in the space capsule Sputnik 2 in November, 1957.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting fact about that..I was 6 yrs. old!
Buster, do you know who was the 1st man in space?
ReplyDeleteNo I don't.
ReplyDeleteBuster, his name was Yuri Gagarin. He was from Russia.The name of his space craft was Vostok I.
ReplyDeleteHe orbited the earth on April 12, 1961 (I was 9 years old). His journey lasted less than 2 hours.
Buster, If you could travel into space, which planet would you like to visit and why?
