Thanks for the reminder of the date JJ! Regardless of the politics, the astronauts and cosmonauts were and continue to be some of the bravest people in the world. I've always considered it sad that Gagarin survived this, and died in a routine plane flight.
Sometime you need to visit Moscow, and go to their space museum. (And ours too, of course! Oddly enough, I've been to theirs but not to the U.S. equivalent.)
Do you suppose the proximity to the date is what inspired Moffat for the subject matter of the opening two-parter?
