Origin[]
Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet Russian pilot and was the first human to travel to outer space in the April 12th, 1961 mission, Vostok 1. The craft circled around Earth's orbit once and landed. The entire trip from lift-off to landing took 108 minutes.
Usage[]
The suit allows the user to turn off gravity and float freely for a total of 108 minutes. If the wearer is still floating after the time is up, gravity will immediately catch up to him/her, resulting in a fall. The suit must be allowed to rest for a few days after each use, or it will not function correctly.
Collection[]
Artie and Hugo stole the suit off of a mannequin at the Yuri Gagarin memorial display in the Cosmonaut Training Center in Moscow.
