Summary[edit]

Description

April 12, 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the first human space flight. I’m usually not much for composite images, but I wanted to do something to commemorate the singular achievement of Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, may his memory be for blessing. There are so many discussions this simple idea spawns: life, the universe and everything.
