Pojechali

On April 12, 1961, just before Yuri Gagarin entered the Vostok 1 capsule and became the first human to enter space, he said: Поехали! An informal Russian phrase freely translated as ‘Let’s go!’.

In Dutch, you write Поехали as Pojechali, and this is the name I chose for my holding. Be aware that you should pronounce the first ‘o’ as an ‘a’ in Russian. You say pajéchali.
