Original – Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut, Air Force pilot, and aerospace engineer.
Alt 1 Scratches and specks removed.
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)[reply]
      • I only tilted it 3° which is not much different than cropping it. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 03:21, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
