Reflecting on fifty years of human spaceflight from orbit
In short: In April 2011, the Expedition 27 crew aboard the International Space Station shared their perspectives on two monumental milestones in space history during interviews with the media.
The team spoke about marking fifty years since Yuri Gagarin's historic spaceflight, alongside thirty years since the STS-1 shuttle mission began. These anniversaries were set to be celebrated on April 12.
Recorded during flight, these chats with CBS News and the Associated Press offer a rare view of space travel's heritage from orbit.
