On 12 April 1961 Yuri Gagarin was the first Cosmonaut to travel to space then back to earth. Many years of planning, designing, and testing materials, instruments and vehicles were done before he could go on that first trip.
Learn and prepare for rockets, cosmonauts, asteroids and space as you design, build and launch your own rocket creations.
