Yuri Gagarin's first flight into space still has a fantastic resonance - I found myself looking at endless news footage on YouTube from April 1961; lots of early colour footage, space machines riveted together out of bent sheets of metal; and big telephones. Then saw this, about the Kremlins celebration gala last week. And so wish I could have been there.

It WAS pretty good...I went to a space party and wore a Gagarin mask.
