That's right... a mere 51 years ago on April 12, 1961, Man entered space for the first time. A single orbit around the earth. And the guy that did it kicked off the space race and a whole new generation of enthusiasts. Yuri Gagarin. Don't forget it!

And now, 51 years to the day, North Korea takes its next step towards world domination. They're just too smart for us! A day that will in infamy. Somebody famous said that. I just can't place the name.
