Yes, The first man-made object to orbit the Earth was the Soviet Sputnik launched on a converted ICBM in the International Geophysical Year. The first human to orbit the Earth was Soviet Yuri Gagarin who completed a 108 minute orbit in Vostok 1 in 1961. The first American to orbit the Earth was John Glenn in 1962.
Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, was the first man-made satellite to orbit Earth.
It has been hypothesized that the "first" object from earth the exit the atmosphere and enter space was in fact the moon. However, the first documented man-made object to enter orbit was the Soviet satellite Sputnik, in 1957.
YURI GAGRIN WAS THE FIRST MAN and Valentina was the first women to go in space
It was the first mission to ever go into lunar orbit in December 1968.
On the 12th of April 1961, Yuri Gagarin Became not only the first man in space but the first man to orbit the Earth.

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"
Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, was the first man-made satellite to orbit Earth.
The first man-made object successfully placed in earth orbit was Sputnik-I, launched by the USSR in October, 1957. (There were several unsuccessful attempts before that.)
Alan Shepard became the first American to go into space. He was beaten by Yuri Gagarin just 23 days earlier but with hindsight had the United States Government not delayed he could have been the first man in space. But he did not go into Earth-orbit as Gagarin did. The first American to orbit the Earth was John Glenn and later Shepard was to feel overshadowed by Glenn.
Yuri Gagarin? He wanted to be the first man to orbit the earth, and to bring honor and glory to the Soviet Union. That he did, and he was awarded the Order of Lenin for his deed.
john Glenn was the first man to orbit the earth in a satellite and was the oldest man to go into space.

Woot woot go Lebanon!
Astronaut Alan .B.Shepherd was the first American astronaut to go in space. He did a sub orbit of the earth in his Mercury spacecraft. He was the Apollo 14 commander.
