Yuri Gagarin

Many of u would wonder why suddenly i am writing something on Yuri Gagarin, the first human to travel in space. Well, today when i opened my homepage - google.com ofcourse, i saw some Google holiday logo...I thought maybe special day is today so i just googled for this logo. I got to know that the logo is for Yuri Gagarin...I googled for Yuri Gagarin and thought maybe its his b'day today. But No, its not his b'day today..Now i was confused then why the hell the logo is there ??..But Google to the rescue, after googling a bit i got to know that it was on April 12, 1961 that Gagarin became the first human to travel in space...Hats off to the true champion !! n hats off to google for remembering the gr8 works by gr8 people..Thanks google !
