The first manned rocket was launched in 1961
The first US manned space flight, Mercury-Redstone 3, also known as Freedom 7, took place on May 5, 1961. The flight, piloted by astronaut Alan Shepard, lasted approximately 15 minutes and 22 seconds. During this brief suborbital flight, Shepard reached an altitude of about 116.5 miles (187.5 kilometers) before safely returning to Earth.
Manned space flight is a voyage into space with a human passenger on board.

The USSR or Russia. They had the first satellite, the first animal in space, the first manned space flight, and the first space walk. But we beat them to the moon.
On 5 May, 1961 Alan Shepherd was launched on a sub-orbital flight into space aboard Freedom 7, the first manned mission of Project Mercury.

The first manned space flight took place in 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The Soviet Union achieved the first manned space flight on April 12, 1961, with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbiting the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The first manned spaceflight was made by Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961, aboard the Soviet spacecraft Vostok 1. Gagarin's historic flight made him the first human to travel into space and orbit the Earth.
Russians Went to Space FirstThe US space program (under NASA and the military branches) were competing with the space program in the Soviet Union (Russia). The Russians launched the first manned spacecraft (with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin) into orbit on April 12, 1961. The US Mercury program launched two suborbital flights into space (Alan Shepard and then Gus Grissom) on May 5 and July 21, 1961, but did not achieve an orbital flight (with John Glenn) until February 20, 1962.
