Two, I believe: Congressman Bill Nelson and Senator Jake Garn. Teacher Christa McAuliffe would have been the third.
Yuri Gagarin was the first human to travel into space on April 12, 1961. He was a Soviet astronaut. Alan Shepard was the first American astronaut in space on May 5, 1961, as part of the Mercury-Redstone 3 mission.

Sunita Williams
She was an astronaut and went into space 2 times. She was also the first women to go into space.

It wasn't. By the time Guion Bluford went into space, hundreds of other people had already into space and figured out how to rendezvous and dock and live in space. Bluford was just another astronaut.
4 people
The Americans went first in space if manned it was in 1961 and Alan. B. Shepherd was the astronaut.
Nothing, he lost 30 lbs. while he was in space. He came back and went out for burgers.
Most people who went into outer space have survived.
It would depend on the circumstances and the damage done.
Julie Payette went to space because when she was 10 years old she wanted to be a astronaut and she became one :)
