The First Man in Space
On March 27, 1968, at age 34, Yuri Gagarin was killed when the jet he was test piloting crashed. His death was mourned by the world, as his ashes were buried alongside other Soviet heroes in the Kremlin Wall.
In honor of his great contributions to space exploration, a crater on the moon was named after him.
