OUTER SPACE
Humans began the exploration of space during the 20th century with the advent of high-altitude balloon flights, followed by manned rocket launches. Earth orbit was first achieved by Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union in 1961 and unmanned spacecraft have since reached all of the known planets in the Solar System.
The Space Pavilion at the VDNH Moscow was dedicated to the broad interest in outer space and replaced the Pavilion for Agriculture in around 1965. For three decades it informed its visitors on matters of the universe and housed a full size orbital station. For a couple of years now the Space Pavilion has been out of regular use, its endless space became vacant, turning it into a singular planet on Earth.
