Unlike Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1 Titov took manual control of the spacecraft for a short while. Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин; YOO-ree a-lek-SE-ye-veech ga-GA-reen; March 9, 1934 – March 27, 1968), was a Soviet cosmonaut who in 1961 became the first human to travel into space. ...

The flight was an almost complete success, marred only by a bout of space sickness, a malfunctioning heater that allowed the inside temperature to drop to 6.1°C (43°F), and a troublesome re-entry when the re-entry module failed to separate cleanly from its service module. Space sickness is what astronauts go through when they adapt to zero gravity. ...

The re-entry capsule was unfortunately destroyed during development of the Voskhod spacecraft. The Voskhod (Восход, translated as Sunrise) was a spacecraft built by the Soviet Unions space program for human spaceflight (see Voskhod programme). ...

As of 2003, Titov remains the youngest person to reach space. He was a month short of 26 years old at launch.
