		Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 to a peasant family in the village of Klushino, Smolensk region.
		The Training Centre was re-named the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre and Museum in 1968.
		Gagarin’s remains are also preserved and displayed in a small box at the museum as well as his partially burned passport, flying license and other important documents.

		Along with the other prospective cosmonauts, he was subjected to a punishing series of experiments designed to test his physical and psychological endurance, as well as training relating to the upcoming flight.
		While in orbit Gagarin was promoted "in the field" from the lowly rank of Second Lieutenant to Major - and this was the rank at which TASS announced him in its triumphant statement during the flight.
		Although Gagarin is indisputably the first man to survive space travel, there is a conspiracy theory that the Russians had previously launched two human beings into orbit prior to Gagarin, but both cosmonauts died en route or alternatively, one died while one landed off-course and was held by the Chinese government.

	The Final Frontier
		Cosmonauts were about the closest things to gods under the old system, and the film was certainly very reverent towards him.
		Accompanying us round the training centre from that morning onwards was the young son of a cosmonaut, whose father had only recently (in March) returned to Earth after several months aboard Mir.
		For real cosmonauts this is individually moulded to his or her body measurements, to support them as comfortably as possible during the accelerations of launch and landing.

	The Arts Catalyst
		There were two closely related parts to the experiments: an investigation led by Kitsou Dubois into the ability of subjects with different experiences of dance training and weightlessness to control defined movements in zero gravity, and a neurophysiological study led by Nick Davey aimed at understanding the corticospinal control of movement in varying gravitational conditions.
		The Arts Catalyst arranged a parabolic flight for Kitsou Dubois and three other dancers with the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia, in September 2000 to undertake the first part of this investigation.
		Dubois' movement protocol for this flight investigated: - the dancers' awareness of and the ability to control the extremities of the body during movement; - the dancers' awareness of their 'subjective vertical'; - the contribution to orientation and awareness of the body from contact with a partner.
