"From April to June, Klein was in the United States, and there he learned of the exploit of the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. The newspapers in April 1961 printed a statement by the first man in space: "I saw the sky very dark and the earth blue, of a deep and intense blue"...Already in 1957 [Yves] had had the idea of colouring a terrestrial globe (of the standard schoolroom kind) blue...The globe showed the earth's mountains in slight relief. No sooner said than done" (P. Restany, op. cit, p. 227).
