Erin Dollar @Ruth Campo - Yayoi Kusama is actually a little older than Yoko Ono, so maybe you could say that Yoko was emulating Ms. Kusama? You never know ;)

Titov was the second human to orbit the Earth aboard Vostok 2, the first person to orbit the Earth multiple times (a total of 17), to spend more than a day in space, to sleep in orbit and to suffer from space sickness. He was the first to pilot a spaceship personally and he made the first manual photographs from orbit, thus setting a record for modern space photography. A month short of 26 years old at launch, to this day he remains the youngest person to fly

Profile picture of Alfred Phillips

Alfred Phillips A gentle man for a more gentle time.

Profile picture of Christi Broersma

Christi Broersma You are so right, Alfred. In some ways with so many children in need he might still be the type to influence children - if there was anyone like him around, which there isn't.

Profile picture of Alfred Phillips

Alfred Phillips I believe there are still some like Mr. Rogers around, but they are not 'hip' or controversial enough for today's TV producers.

Profile picture of Christi Broersma

Christi Broersma He wasn't either, but he had a following of kids (and adults!) who needed that kind of gentleness in their lives. There's still a huge need for that in our world.
