Answer:

D

Explanation: Vostok 1 circled Earth at a speed of 27,400 kilometers per hour with the flight lasting 108 minutes. Vostok's re-entry was controlled by a computer but it was not built for a safe landing so Gagarin(the first human to space) did not land inside of capsule. Instead, he ejected himself from the spacecraft and landed by parachute.
