It won't have escaped your notice that today marks the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic first manned space flight.

Well, we at the Paper Aircraft Released Into Space (PARIS [1]) bureau couldn't let the moment pass without some form of celebration, and our own heroic Playmonaut [2] was on hand offer a hearty "За здоровье!"

In case you're wondering, I picked up the magnificent Gagarin commemorative space pen holder years ago on a trip to the then Soviet Union, and have been regularly dusting it in preparation for just such a moment. ®
