Space travel has never been billed (31) a first-class affair, but back in 1939 it was deemed downright uncivilized in the February 20, 1939, issue of TIME.

Topping the list: smoking and water for washing-and there would be just enough coffee to keep the navigators from "(34) asleep over their interminable calculations".

"Man belongs (40) he wants to go-and he’ll do plenty well when he gets there".

Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin (44) TIME’s cover (45) he became the first human in space on April 12, 1961, but the article (46) described the event in heroic terms also lamented the U.S.S.R. triumph as an American propaganda defeat.

The next week’s issue featured a cover story celebrating Neil Armstrong’s "giant leap for mankind", asserting that the success of the mission was "a shining reaffirmation of the optimistic premise that (50) man imagines he can bring to pass".
