Last night was EPIC #yurisnight #ootd #FashionSky #cosplaygirl #AiLove
On @wamu.org right now, celebrating Yuri Garagin being the first person in space by playing the Soviet broadcast announcing he had successfully returned to Earth #YurisNight
On this #YurisNight, it's an honor to reflect on what our four brave astronauts just did and represented. Space exploration was celebrated globally. The launch and return surpassed both the sound and the language barrier, something I think we as Americans should continue to warmly embrace.
In case it might get lost in the Artemis II celebrations - reminder that this is #YurisNight - a celebration of the first human spaceflight.

"On the 12th of April, the Soviet Union orbited a spaceship around the Earth with a man on board. The astronaut is a Soviet citizen: Major Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich."

Yuri's Night! #YurisNight
Tonight on Yuri's Night, we're celebrating atheists on rockets. 🚀🧑🚀

It's Yuri's Night! 65 years since Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, But have you ever wondered about Valentina Gagarina, who married him? What was her life like? 🧪 #WomenInSTEM #YurisNight
I'm pretty sure that the 63 dragees that Yuri Gagarin took on his epic orbit of Earth in 1961 were Red Lobsters. These were a favourite of Soviet children in the 1960s. I can also tell you that they're delicious! #YurisNight 🧪
So about those 63 dragees ....in a huge sacrifice, I bought a shit-ton of Russian sweets from a shop in Brisbane and forced myself and my friends to consume chocolates in the name of research. And I think I found the dragee ... #YurisNight 🧪
A photo of the first human to reach space, Yuri Gagarin wearing his helmet and space flight suit. He is smiling broadly. Behind him is a superimposed orbital photo of the earth. To the side is the quote, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!" Yuri Gagarin
Happy International Day of Human Space Flight to all who celebrate!

The sausages, jam and dragees Yuri Gagarin had with him were not for consumption during his first orbit (only 90 minutes). They were a back-up if the Vostok 1 failed to descend as planned. It would be 10 days before they could bring it back down over Russia. #YurisNight 🧪
Russian confectionary is fascinating! In the mid-1960s, Alyonka chocolate bars with their trademark picture of a child were very popular. There was a rumour that the little girl was the child of Yuri Gagarin or Valentina Tereshkova.

A tribute to Yuri Gagarin and his historic flight: long may it inspire each new generation of space travellers. Read the full tribute here: markdestewart.wixsite.com/the-metaphor...

Did Korolev perhaps mean 63 pieces of sausage? Reading between the lines, I don't think so. Yuri says he won't get fat because he's going to eat the sausage first, with his tea. So what were these dragees exactly? #YurisNight 🧪
Korolev: Jura, how are you? Receiving. Gagarin: As I was taught. Everything's fine, everything's all right. Can you hear me alright? Receiving. Korolev: There is lunch, dinner and breakfast in the tube. Korolev: Sausage, dragees and jam for tea. Korolev: 63 pieces, you'll become fat. Gagarin: Ho-ho. Korolev: You'll arrive today and eat it all at once. Gagarin: No, the main thing is the sausage, goes with the brew.

Incidentally, the picture above is not Yuri drinking tea with the Queen but having lunch with the workers of Manchester. The bloke to his right is his interpreter. #YurisNight
Here's how to drink tea Gagarin-style. Make black tea (let's go with Russian Caravan) and put a slice of lemon in it. Let the lemon infuse, sip your tea, then eat the lemon!

At Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev's house, Yuri Gagarin would go hunting, and then tuck into a feast of shasliks and vodka.

Another way to have that special cosmonaut dining experience: do you remember the meat and fish pastes that people used to put in sandwiches in the 1960s and 70s? If you rummage around in your local supermarket, you can still find them.

Do you want to have a Yuri Gagarin food experience? Here's how to make an astronaut chocolate pudding in my favourite space artefact, the zip lock bag.

Yuri Gagarin ate puréed food in tubes as he whizzed around Earth. This was to test if swallowing was even possible in microgravity - that's how little we knew back then! The Powerhouse Museum has Soviet space food in its collections. #YurisNight 🧪 🔭
I'm kicking my #YurisNight celebrations off with food and drink inspired by the beloved cosmonaut. This is Gagarin pie, which sounds delicious!

On April 12, it will be 65 years since Yuri Gagarin made his epic first orbit, proving that humans could physically and mentally survive outside Earth. #YurisNight 🔭 🧪
