Show notes

In 1961, the USSR placed a man named Yuri Gagarin into a tiny capsule on the tip of a massive rocket and shot him into space. This is the story of that moment, and Lee spends the episode teetering back and forth between being inspired by the humanity of the story and being discouraged by the systems and structures the humans are stuck in. For more information on this topic, check out "Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin" by Doran and Bizony
