With as far ahead as the Soviet Space Program was, it wasn't surprising that the first person in space wasn't one of the Mercury Seven, but Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. But what is surprising is that it was almost as big a shock for the Americans as when Sputnik was launched... we will also find out which of the Mercury Seven will be the first American in space.

During the Space Race series, Lift Off by kennysvoice is the show's temporary intro.
