Who were the first humans in space?

Answer 1

In 1961, Soviet Cosmonaut (astronaut) Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel in space when he made a single orbit around the earth in his Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The Russian Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space.

Answer 2

Basically, exploring space is a way to find out more about how life here on Earth exists, and how it can continue to exist. It was not always for purely scientific reasons, but also for war and defense, and later for businesses to improve their operations here on Earth.

The Study of Space

The first people to "explore" space were astronomers and astrologers, who saw the moving but unchanging patterns of stars as clues to how the world worked. Until the invention of the telescope, all they knew were gross delineations: wandering stars (planets), fixed stars, nebulae, and comets. The occasional nova (new star) piqued their interest, but it was beyond their comprehension. The Moon and Sun were of particular interest because the two marked the passage of days, of months, and of years. Their relationship to the weather, to the tides, and to the seasons, made them important to civilization.

The serious development of rocketry in the 20th century made direct exploration of space possible. Jules Verne and others had examined it in fiction, but advances in metallurgy, chemistry, and mechanical systems made it feasible in reality. The German V-2 rockets of the early 1940s were a major step, and both the Soviet Union and the United States made use of captured specimens to augment their own technology. The political dichotomy after World War II, communism versus democracy, spurred an arms race that soon included space. So the purely scientific inquiries were studied hand-in-hand with the development of advanced weapons systems. The Soviets had the first artificial satellite, and the first man in space, but their technology soon lagged behind the US juggernaut that put men on the Moon.

By the 1970s, the satellite had become an integral part of life on Earth, and civilian uses soon outnumbered the military ones. Governments and businesses cooperatively utilized space for communications, weather, and the study of resources on Earth.

Once the Moon was reached, the impetus for competition waned, and the Russians and Americans were soon assisting each other in building space stations, and sending probes to the planets. On the ground and in orbit, there were new means of observing the universe, and new mathematical concepts of how it worked. Scientists and astronauts from around the world continue to study space, but the major reason is to understand life here on Earth.
