Yuri Gagarin
Voting period ends on 3 Jul 2019  at 07:05:07 (UTC)
 * Reason:Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go to space and the first to orbit the Earth on 12 April 1961. This wonderful maniac then directed Vostok 1 on a descent course, ejected from the spacecraft, and landed using a parachute.


 * If that is not enough, this photo is also very rare. Gagarin died less than 7 years after his flight. He also managed to scar his handsome face two months after this photo was taken on 3 July 1961. So this photo is the best representation of his appearance during the notable time that we may ever get.

 * I should note, if you edited the original beyond the crop, you really should add yourself to the credits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Cuerden (talk • contribs) 03:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I only tilted it 3° which is not much different than cropping it. --- Coffee  and crumbs  03:21, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
