Speaking of Yuri Gagarin's orbital flight, the TV announces the flight time in UTC ("Coordinated Universal Time", with international initials). However, UTC had barely been invented in 1961, and was not yet called UTC. In reality, the TASS news agency would have announced the time as Moscow time, or if intended for consumption in the English-speaking world, possibly "Greenwich Mean Time," the customary usage at the time. U.S. news media also likely would have reported it as the equivalent in Eastern Standard Time.
