Although keeping up with the fiftieth anniversary of the flight of Apollo 13, seeing a reminder Vostok 1 had been launched nine years before that perilous mission yet during the same week on the calendar turned my thoughts towards a film I’d been aware of for a while without ever quite managing to watch. Enclosed protectively (although not sealed up airtight) in the capsule of my own dwelling during a long weekend, I made the effort at last to track down the online video of First Orbit, recorded by astronauts on the space station along an orbit recapturing both the path and the lighting of Yuri Gagarin’s flight.
“Let’s go!” )
