On this International Day of Human Space Flight, we celebrate humanity’s extraordinary journey beyond Earth—a journey that began on April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space, opening the door to limitless exploration and discovery.
Recognized by the United Nations in 2011, this day honors the achievements of space science and highlights the importance of using outer space for peaceful purposes and the benefit of all humankind. It serves as a reminder that space exploration is not only about scientific progress, but also about unity, innovation, and global cooperation.
From early missions to modern advancements, spaceflight continues to inspire generations, encourage scientific curiosity, and strengthen collaboration among nations. It reflects our shared ambition to explore the unknown while fostering peace and progress here on Earth.
On behalf of UNPKFC, we proudly join the world in commemorating this important day. We reaffirm our commitment to promoting peace, advancing knowledge, and encouraging international cooperation in space and beyond.
Let us continue to explore, innovate, and work together for a brighter, peaceful future—for our planet and the universe we all share. Exploration, Peace, Science, and Global Cooperation in Space.
