It is also reported that Gagarin brushed the Queen's knee to ensure she was real. In response to being touched, "the Queen just smiled and carried on drinking her coffee," Gagarin told Lebedev. That doesn't sound like tea to me. As the first man in space, perhaps he felt entitled to do as he pleased, including telling tall stories. | |
