The first rocket to reach "space" was a German V-2 (the A4 rocket weapon) launched during World War II. According to test records, the first rocket to reach "space" was likely the fourth test launch on October 3, 1942.
The first satellite to attain an orbit of the Earth was the USSR's Sputnik 1 in 1957.
The earliest rockets for which we have documentary evidence were developed in China in the 10th to 13th centuries. As there was no theory of aerodynamics at that time, the technology progressed slowly, by trial-and-error, so it is probable that the first attempts to launch rockets were far from successful.
Paul Rudolf (Rudy) Opitz made the first powered flight of the Me-163B, the only rocket powered interceptor aircraft ever to achieve operational status.
Many countries have launched many items into space, humans included. The First rocket to successfully launch and American into space was Freedom 7.Ê
Normally rockets do not orbit the earth. Rockets lift/put satellites into space, some of which orbit the earth.

the first rocket was
The first unmanned rocket to fly in space was the Russian Sputnik.
The first "rocket" successfully launched into space was actually a V-2 missile. The first rocket-ship that was successfully launched into space used rocket engines. A rocket engine pushes the rocket forward by expelling its exhaust in the opposite direction at a high speed.
It was a German rocket in 1944.
The first manned rocket was launched in 1961

The people who made the first space rocket were called Werner Von Braun and Walter Riedel.
Goddard did not create a rocket that went into space. He created the first liquid fuel rocket which was which lead to space rockets and for this is known as the father of modern rocketry. The first rocket to reach space was the V2 rocket made by the Germans during World War 2 as a weapon to deliver bombs.
The Soviet Union (Russia) was the first country to launch a successful space rocket, the R-7.
