Graffiti dedicated to space exploration are pictured on residential buildings, in the town of Baikonur, Kazakhstan. 60 years ago on April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin pronounced his famous "Poyekhali!" (Let's Go!) as the Vostok spacecraft lifted off the ground, taking the first person ever to space from Baikonur cosmodrome. After orbiting the Earth once, the re-entry module landed on the territory of what was then the Soviet Union.
