The first president to go to space was Ronald Reagan. He did not travel to space during his presidency, but before becoming president, Reagan flew on a NASA Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to observe a Space Shuttle mission in 1986.
YURI GAGRIN WAS THE FIRST MAN and Valentina was the first women to go in space
no. there is no need to bank. Banking happens because the only way aircraft can turn is by banking. while banking, air pushes off the bottom of the aircraft to make it go in a certain direction. there is no air in space. space is a vacuum. thrusters are used.
Yuri Gagarin. He was in the Vostok spacecraft to orbit Earth on April 12, 1961.The first Russian in space wasYuri Gagarin.Russian astronauts are called cosmonauts.Animals, such as dogs, monkeys, et al., were launched into space to test the spacecraft, but Yuri Gagarin was the first Russian and the first human to go into space on 12th April 1961.Yuri Gagarin was the first Russian cosmonaut to go into space and orbit the Earth. His trip into space only lasted an hour and 48 minutes.Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin; (9 March 1934 - 27 March 1968),was a soviet cosmonaut. On 12 April 1961, he became the first human in space and the first to orbit the Earth.
The first creature to go to outer space was a dog named Laika.
A dog orbited the earth as the first living thing to go out in space
Since aircraft do not, and in fact cannot, go into space then it should be obvious that no aircraft has ever been to Mercury, as yet.
Monkeys started going into space in the 1960s for President Kennedy when he decided to send monkeys into space.
no, but they train special animals, such as monkeys, to go to space

No, monkeys have never gone to the moon. So far the monkey space program has met with dismal results, as all their aircraft have so far been constructed of poo, and have crashed shortly after launch. The monkeys themselves however, seem undaunted and continue to launch their projectiles at pretty regular intervals.
Manned aircraft do not (and cannot) go into space. The clue is in the name aircraft - they rely on aerodynamics (therefore an atmosphere) in order to fly.
Only specialized aircraft fly in space - airplanes are not pressurized or shielded the way rockets and the space shuttle are, so they can't go into space.
Alan Shepard was the first man to go into space. If you are counting monkeys as Americans (which technically they are) then that is a whole other story.
Aircraft fly through air and spacecraft fly in space.
the first animal in space was a Russian dog named Laika. after that, there was two monkeys from America to go to space. one named Ham, the other Abel.
Monkeys and dogs were sent into space before humans because they are more expendable than humans, thus they wanted to test the performance and safety of the rockets before risking any human lives
