Everything was handled from ground control and automatic onboard systems. Gagarin was really just along for the ride.
Once in orbit, Gagarin traveled once around the Earth at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour, circling it entirely in just an hour and a half.

Just over four miles above the ground, Gagarin ejected from the spacecraft so he could land safely with a parachute.

Eight years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land and walk on the moon. Nowadays, there are regular launches of astronauts into space for work aboard the International Space Station, and space programs are working to reignite travel to the moon and beyond.
