The first nation to launch one of its citizens into earth orbit aboard a rocket-powered vehicle was the USSR.
The altitude of his brief orbital sojourn could hardly be described as "outer space".
The only humans to have traveled beyond low-earth-orbit so far were the Apollo astronauts who traveled to the moon ...
about 1/4 million miles from earth, or roughly 1/4 of 1 percent of the distance to the sun. Though that too was hardly
"outer space", it wasn't peanuts either.
Apollo was a project of NASA in the US, and all of its astronauts were US citizens.
