Welcome to Wild Blue Yonder Wednesday - it's the International Day of Human Space Flight!

 April 12, 2023



Good morning, friends!! A very happy Wednesday to you all. It's time to grab your cup of coffee or tea and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another. ๐Ÿ˜€

Yes, FNB is launching yet another space-themed thread....but this one is to commemorate the birth of humans successfully flying in to space and proving they could return safely! 

The UN site tells us: The International Day of Human Space Flight celebrates the start of the space era for humankind, reaffirming the important contribution of space science and technology in today's world. The day also aims to promote aspirations to explore and maintain outer space for peaceful purposes.

April 12, 1961, was the date of the first human space flight, carried out by Yuri Gagarin. This historic event opened the wat for space exploration. In 2011 the UN declared April 12 as the "International Day of Human Space Flight" to remember the first human space flight and to promote the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes and to the benefit of humankind.

The day also celebrates the launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia on April 12, 1981, so now, let's launch our own spaced flights of fancy!! ๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿš€ ๐ŸŒŽ ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿ›ฐ️ ☄️ ๐Ÿ˜บ There's no obligation to post images. The only thing we hope you do is enjoy yourself.
