"The first rocket was the Sputnik...." Here we go again... NO It Wasn't! The first Spacecraft with a human to go into space was the Russian Satellite called 'Vostok', or 'Vostok 3KA'. 'Sputink', is the Russian word for 'Satellite', it was NOT the Name of the spacecraft. imagine if every Russian called 'Apollo 18' ... 'Satilite' with a heavy russian accent... DRrr Not. It Also was not the first spacecraft! the Russians launched a bunch of Dogs and crap up there first... there were many spacecrafts that went up before 'Vostok'.
