"When they saw me in my space suit and the parachute dragging alongside as I walked, they started to back away in fear. I told them, don't be afraid, I am a Soviet like you, who has descended from space and I must find a telephone to call Moscow!" -- Yuri Gagarin (b. 1934-03-09, d. 1968-03-27), first human in space
