The General Assembly, in its resolution A/RES/65/271 of 7 April 2011, declared 12 April as the International Day of #Human #Space #Flight “to celebrate each year at the international level the beginning of the space era for mankind, reaffirming the important contribution of space science and technology in achieving sustainable development goals and increasing the well-being of States and peoples, as well as ensuring the realization of their aspiration to maintain outer space for peaceful purposes.”
12 April 1961 was the date of the first human space flight, carried out by #YuriGagarin, a #Soviet citizen. This historic event opened the way for space exploration for the benefit of all humanity.
This year, #Yuri'sNight is virtual with a global event with the theme of "#Earthseed," a reference to the book "Parable of the Sower" by sci-fi writer Octavia E. Butler. NASA recently named the #Perseverance rover's touchdown site "Octavia E. Butler Landing" after the author.
