and seven days later

Pssst. Hey Yuri, this is a voice from the future talking to you through your intercom. Listen buddy, I only have a couple of seconds here, so I want to make this quick. Congratulations! You are going to be the most famous man in the world in a couple of hours. In fact, you will be so famous that years from now when there is no Soviet Union, and people will have forgotten all about the "glories of the 5 year plan" and all that claptrap, people will still remember you. You my friend have passed from the world of average men, into the world of immortality.

So you just sit back and relax and try to enjoy the flight, you hear?

Oh, and on a related note, theres a yound woman living in California who is very pregnant and in just 7 days, she will give birth to a baby boy. The boy will grow up to admire you and travel back in time just to say hello at this historic moment.

So smile Yuri! Life is good...

April 12th 1961. Humanity leaves the earth for the first time.
April 12th 1961. My mom rides a bus to the OB/GYN.

The first event on that date might be important for the rest of you, but for me, I'm damn glad that the second event was successful.
