Notes:
2: I was going to say Sputnik, but it was really more of a proof-of-concept, a satellite without payload, than an actual probe.
4: As an inspiration, if nothing else. But he also had a lot of good ideas.
7: The only spacefaring rocket ever to have never suffered a catastrophic failure
10: OK, I don’t actually think so (I’d prefer something more abstract like Aspiration or Peace), but it’ll probably be a popular answer.

It is clearly a commie plot that kept me from the top 10, with all you Yuri Gagarin lovers out there.

O-o-o-o-h look at Comrade Yuri, he was the first man in space. Oh look at Comrade Yuri, he’s so handsome. Ohhh…swoon…

Why do you people hate America?

59

In Soviet Russia, Sputnik launches you?

In Soviet Russia, America hate you!
