His name is Yuri Gagarin. And he is about to make history. Traveling at almost 18,000 miles per hour -- ten times faster than a rifle bullet -- Gagarin circles the globe in just 106 minutes. From his windows he sees the earth as nobody has before, crossing a sunset and a sunrise, crossing oceans and continents, witnessing its beauty and its fragility. While his launch begins in total secrecy, within hours of his landing he has become a world celebrity -- the first human to leave the planet. -- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 419-486) and index. 600 10 $a Gagarin, Yuri Alekseyevich, $d 1934-1968. 650 0 $a Astronauts $z Soviet Union $v Biography. 650 0 $a Astronautics $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 0 $a Manned space flight $x History. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 18 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710053932.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626010933.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020246.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022235.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020148.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111014335.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015235.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064127.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20211116015616.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20210724095701.0 $m B Gag 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014023.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064408.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707014653.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010523.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210602011946.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210504014117.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013623.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210415010037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6BCC99A9DAF11EBB64BA8A730ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
