	Yuri Gagarin - MSN Encarta
		Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was born in the Smolensk region of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
		Gagarin and fellow cosmonaut Gherman Titov, front-runners in their class, were both contenders for the Vostok 1 flight.
		Gagarin was exposed to about six times the normal force of gravity on the earth during the launch phase and about eight times the normal force of gravity during the re-entry.

	SPACE.com -- Touring the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center Museum
		The Training Center, established on January 11, 1960, was created to develop the scientific and technical prerequisites for manned spaceflight.
		The center would be responsible for the training of every cosmonaut to fly into space, including the first, Yuri Gagarin.
		While we also visited some of the classrooms used to teach cosmonauts and viewed the full-scale mock-up of the recently deorbited Mir space station, the highlight of this tour, at least personally, was the Training Center Museum.

		Yuri Gagarin was born in the village of Klushino near Gzhatsk (now in Smolensk Oblast, Russia), on 9 March 1934.
		Gagarin's last-minute assignment, approved at the highest levels of the CPSU, to take the historic flight, may have been due to Gagarin's modest upbringing and genial, outgoing personality, as opposed to the middle-class and somewhat aloof demeanor of Titov.
		Yuri's Night is an international celebration held on April 12 every year to commemorate the first human in space and the first space shuttle launch.

		Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934, in a small village called Klushino, now renamed Gagarin, near Moscow in the Soviet Union.
		The Soviet cosmonauts (in the Soviet Union, an astronaut is called a cosmonaut) had to pass very difficult physical and mental tests, including spending time in a small room where they could not see, hear, touch, taste, or smell, and solving math problems while a loudspeaker blasted out answers.
		Gagarin was chosen to be the pilot of the mission and German Titov was chosen as his backup.

		The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre is using the flying laboratories for carrying out technological tests and studies of different space-related systems, devices, assemblies, biomedical studies of organisms and their behavior under weightless conditions and in reduced weightlessness ("Lunar", "Martian" and other types of gravity), and also for commercial flights and advertising projects.
		The major factor of the orbital flight, affecting a cosmonaut, is a weightlessness state, which causes essential changes in cardiovascular and vestibular systems operation.
		Its sense is to initiate disorders of cosmonauts' vestibular system, by controlling the centrifuge motion and angular attitudes of its cab according to the special law, which causes the simultaneous re-distribution of fluids in the cosmonauts' organism by creating the excessive pressure in the lower part of the space suit.
