Our world keeps changing. We didn't always have computers, the Internet or even cars! But there are very smart and very brave people, and they come up with interesting ideas.
Some of the smartest and bravest people went into space first. America, Russia and China all sent people into space. Today, there are people in space all the time. They go around the Earth in space stations.

Can you imagine how brave the first man was to go into space? His name was Yuri Gagarin. In 1961, his rocket blasted off into space.
