YURI GAGRIN WAS THE FIRST MAN and Valentina was the first women to go in space
Yes, NASA sent several monkeys to space as part of their research on the effects of space travel on living organisms. The most famous case is Ham the chimpanzee who flew on the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission in 1961.
The people who go to space are those who have trained for it such as astronauts.
On January 31, 1961, the United States launched the Mercury-Redstone 2 rocket into space. A chimp named Ham was aboard the space rocket.

The first chimpanzee launched into outer space was named Ham. He was sent into space by NASA in 1961 aboard the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission to test the effects of space travel on a living organism.
Ham went into space on January 31, 1961 on a sub-orbital mission that lasted 16 minutes and 39 seconds. Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut to fly in space flew his mission on May 5, 1961. Shepard's flight was almost an exact copy of Ham's albeit a minute shorter. NASA had planned to send up another chimp before the Shepard flight, but when Yuri Gagarin became the first person to fly in space, NASA decided to send Shepard up without the benefit of another test flight. The purpose of Ham's flight was to test the hardware and make sure it was ready for a man to fly into space. Ham's space capsule lost pressure during the flight. He was saved by his spacesuit. That was just one of the problems experienced on Ham's flight that had to be corrected before Shepard could fly.
