Thought I'd point it out to probably - mainly UK Cser's but the BBC SKy At Night nagazine made a bad mistake .

They gave the 'headlined' launch date of Vostok-1 as 11th April 1961 when it should be 12th April 1961 of course.......

If they called it "Vostok-1" in the magazine, then they made another error too. Gagarin's mission was simply called "Vostok," and it was only with the second flight that they started numbering.
