Not yet so far..:-)because its not possible to a human to go onto a space without any spacecraft... but The first man who jumped in an earth's orbit with a spacecraft is "YURI GAGARIN"
Vostok 1.
The Apollo 8 spacecraft was the first spacecraft to orbit the moon and then return safely to earth.
Yuri Gagarin of the USSR was.
The Soviet Union takes credit for sending the first man into orbit around the earth. However, since, Yuri Gagarin did not land in his capsule, it technically does not count as an official orbit. Still, no one disputes that Gagarin did in fact orbit the earth. The first person to orbit the earth and land in his spacecraft was John Glenn of the United States.
The first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon was the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
