Best Answer

Joe Kitteridge, 1960. He went over 120,000 feet high in a gondola balloon, where it is always night- then he stepped out. He fell at supersonic speeds, without an aircraft. This was, for all intents and purposes the first man in space. It was also a world record skydive that may still be unbroken.
