No. Yuri Gagarin went into low earth orbit in April 1961, and landed after almost, but
not quite, one complete orbit.
No human beings traveled as far as the moon until the Apollo 8 mission, in December 1968,
and no human beings landed on the moon until the Apollo11 mission in July 1969.
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (Russian: ЮÌрий ÐлекÑеÌевич ГагаÌрин, Russian pronunciation: [ˈjurʲɪj ÉlʲɪˈksʲeɪvʲɪtÉ• É¡Éˈɡarʲɪn]; 9 March 1934 - 27 March 1968), Hero of the Soviet Union, was a Soviet cosmonaut who on 12 April 1961 became the first human to journey into outer space.
On 12 April 1961, Gagarin became the first man to travel into space, launching to orbit aboard the Vostok 3KA-3 (Vostok 1). His call sign in this flight was Kedr (Cedar; Russian: Кедр). In his postflight report, Gagarin recalled his experience of spaceflight, having been the first human in space:
The feeling of weightlessness was somewhat unfamiliar compared with Earth conditions. Here, you feel as if you were hanging in a horizontal position in straps. You feel as if you are suspended. -Yuri Gagarin, postflight report,
Following the flight, Gagarin told the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev that during reentry he had whistled the tune "The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows" (Russian: "Родина Ñлышит, Родина знает"). The first two lines of the song are: "The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows/Where her son flies in the sky". This patriotic song was written by Dmitri Shostakovichin 1951 (opus 86), with words by Yevgeniy Dolmatovsky.
After the flight, some sources claimed that Gagarin, during his space flight, had made the comment, "I don't see any God up here." However, no such words appear in the verbatim record of Gagarin's conversations with the Earth during the spaceflight. In a 2006 interview a close friend of Gagarin, Colonel Valentin Petrov, stated that Gagarin never said such words, and that the phrase originated from Nikita Khrushchev's speech at the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, where the anti-religious Propaganda was discussed. In a certain context Khrushchev said, "Gagarin flew into space, but didn't see any god there". Colonel Petrov also said that Gagarin had been baptised into the Orthodox Church as a child.
So in Short; Yuri did travel to outer-space, but he didn't ever land on the moon.
