Cosmonaut Gherman Titov born 1935

Gherman Titov, born September 11, 1935 in the former Soviet Union, was the second human to orbit Earth.  He flew on Vostok 2 in August 1961 and made 17 orbits, spending one night in orbit.  He holds the dubious record for being the first person to throw up in space.  At 25 years and 11 months, he is still the youngest person to go into space.

He continued with the Soviet space program but after the death of Yuri Gagarin, the Soviets decided they couldn't lose another cosmonaut and his career in space ended.

He passed away in September 2000 of cardiac arrest.

Vostok 2 returns to Earth after 1 day in orbit, 1961

August 7, 1961, Vostok 2 returned to Earth just one day after it blasted off from Baikinor in Russia.  The cosmonaut, Gherman Titov, is the youngest person to fly in space.  He was just shy of his 26th birthday when he made the journey.

He made 17 orbits, which surpassed Yuri Gagarin's one orbit on Vostok 1, just a few months earlier.  Titov was also the first astronaut to sleep in space (he napped for about 8 hours) and the first to film Earth from orbit, taking over 10 minutes of footage.

Titov is the first person to barf in space, giving rise to the term 'space sickness'.
