   Real Story of the first words of Yuri Gagarin upon returning to earth.


  In April 1961, in a field near the village of Smelovaka in Russia, two farm workers look up to see a capsule parachuting down towards them.  After landing in the field he stepped out of the capsule wearing a bright orange suit and a white helmet. When he lands they approach him and ask, "Have you come from outer space?"
"Yes, yes, would you believe it' he answered with a big grin, "I certainly have".
