In an unexpected twist, the Gulag Digest has obtained recently declassified Soviet documents outlining the events of the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Undoubtedly, the US claims to be the first nation to put a man on the moon. Well, that is if you throw away countless evidence that the landing was staged and filmed in a Hollywood studio. However, new evidence may suggest that Gagarin was lost on his first space flight and accidentally stopped on the moon during his Vostok 1 mission of 1961, to ask for directions back to earth.The reason was that he got lost on his orbit and went off route.
In documents released only to the Gulag Digest (see below), Gagarin’s log mentions a brief stop at a ‘white round surface similar to the moon’ right in front of Earth. The aim was to ask locals for directions back to earth, as his first orbit was nearing its end. However, upon closer examination of the object he landed on, he quickly realized it was uninhabited. Gagarin then proceeded to have a bathroom break on the surface of this object (presumably the moon) and got back into his spaceship. A few hours later, he arrived back on earth and his mission was complete. This would make Gagarin’s achievement of walking on the moon the first in human history – 8 years before Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 mission.
