However, immediately after Gagarin's flight, a report appeared in Life magazine, in which it was written under the triumphant photo of the First cosmonaut: "This man has everything behind him!". When Gagarin became world famous, he was only 27 years old.

People who knew Gagarin well, all as one, repeated: "There was nothing special about him. He was ordinary."
