Yuri Gagarin piloted Vostok 1 in a single orbit around the earth on April 12, 1961. It was Gagarin's only spaceflight. Gagarin died in a military plane crash on March 27, 1968.
That would be Alan B. Shepard, who was also the first American in space.
There was no Apollo 6. The first manned Apollo mission was Apollo 7. The first Apollo mission to go to the moon was Apollo 8, the first to land was Apollo 11.
The first manned space flight took place in 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
Using current technology, it would take a minimum of 3 years for a manned or unmanned mission to reach Uranus one-way. However, a manned mission would also require designing spacecraft systems that do not currently exist.
The Apollo 11 mission, the first manned mission to land on the moon, took about 8 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, and 35 seconds from launch to splashdown back on Earth.
Each Apollo mission that delivered a command module to the vicinity of the moon, whether or not there was a lunar landing, took about 3 days to get there and 3 days to return to earth.
No. The only object other than Earth where humans have been is the moon. Eris is far too distant to reach with a manned mission using current technology. A mission to send people to Eris and return them safely would take a lifetime.
Nobody knows when the first MANNED mission to Mars will take off. It may never happen. Several unmanned explorers have already reached Mars. As of March 2011, there is no project in progress, no funding, no budget, no plan, and no schedule for a manned mission to Mars.
according to the film yes, it was a top secret mission, thus no outside leaks or Cronkite commentary. It was said Walter Cronkite knew more about manned space travel than anybody outside Nasa! he"s not in the film.
The first manned moon landing took place on 20 July 1969
21st of November, 1783 in Paris, France.
The first manned spaceflight, made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, lasted about 108 minutes from launch to landing.
