"Moon King, I offer you my finger, and the fingers of my child!"

Did you know …

That the first human in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, claimed to have seen God when he looked out the window of his spacecraft? It's true!

Upon returning to Earth, Gagarin realized that what he had actually been looking at was the moon, and that he had been suffering from the very first case of space fever. This, of course, was obvious to mission controllers the whole time, as their monitoring equipment indicated very early in the mission that Gagarin had defecated into each of his gloves, something that both Soviet and American space agencies would quickly come to recognize as a universal early symptom of space fever.
