The 12th of April marks the 60th anniversary of the birth of manned space flight.
As far as I can ascertain non of the documentary channels available on my Virgin (UK) system has any program scheduled to celebrate this.
If you know any different please post on here for all to share.
I can just remember being taken by my dad to see him parade down Deansgate in Manchester on 12th July 1961.(aged 7 1/2)

Can't help with the TV but I'll take the opportunity to point out that the day also marks the 40th anniversary of the first flight of the Space Shuttle.

Vostok 1 to Columbia in just twenty years...............
