The First Orbit of the Earth

Today is the 50th anniversary of the first orbit of the earth by man. I have always been interested in aerospace and stuff so this movie is interesting to me. To others it may be long and boring. Over and hour and a half long of views from the space station of what it would have looked like during the first orbit with the original mission audio to make it more authentic. I think the music behind it is beautiful too. Even if you don't watch the whole thing you can skip through it and get the idea.

I would also watch this because it explains the work that went into this project.

(I scheduled this post for 11:12 PM...get it?)
