Vostok Space Capsule

Manned space exploration wouldn’t be possible without the pioneering efforts of the early Russians and Americans fighting the space race. This item is one of the vehicles that paved the way for space flight. The Vostok 3KA-2 took a Russian mannequin and a dog into space for 115 minutes. This was the prelude to the first manned space flight by Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961. Now you can show your love for space exploration on the 50th anniversary of Gagarin’s space flight when this Vostok 3KA-2 Space Capsule goes on auction in Sotheby’s, New York. ~$2 million+.
