X-15 pilots routinely flew into space back in the late 1950's. However, the first man to fly into space on a rocket was Yuri Gagarin, who flew one orbit around the earth aboard Vostok 1 on April 12, 1961. He died in a plane crash7 years later. Vostok 1 was his only spaceflight. He was considered an icon by the Soviet government who refused to letGagarin fly in space againfor fear of him dying in space. Unfortunately, they allowed him to fly airplanes in foggy winter weather.
