Forty-nine years ago the Soviet Union successfully launched a manned spaceship-satellite into orbit around the Earth, and thus began one of the most exciting chapters in human history.
Major Yuri Gagarin became the first human to slip "the surly bonds of Earth" and pilot his ship, Vostok, into the vastness of outer space.
As a child my ambition was to become a cosmonaut and to see this indescribably beautiful blue planet of ours floating through the infinite emptiness of the universe.
Ours is a truly special planet, and the only one we have, which is why preserving it is so vital, and why I have so little patience with all the so-called climate change sceptics.
Lib Dem green and environmental policies have received three green lights by offering "the strongest set of policies on climate change, green taxation, and green living", as reported by the Green Alliance.
