Apollo 8
The first orbital flight carrying more than one astronaut was Voskhod 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 12, 1964. The spacecraft was commanded by cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov and carried two other crew members, Konstantin Feoktistov and Boris Yegorov.
All three Apollo astronauts were aboard for several orbits, but Michael Collins remained aboard the command module when the Lunar Module descended to the Moon. Technically Apollo 2 was the first flight of the Apollo Missions, however i was only a test flight with no humans and never left Earths orbit. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission but they never left Earths orbit either. The first Apollo mission to actually orbit the moon was the crew of Apollo 8 (Lovell, Anders and Borman). If you mean by first Apollo flight that landed on the moon then Apollo 11 is the mission with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Hard to believe I only have 6 trust points!!!
The first manned space flight took place in 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
The first Russian satellite, Sputnik 1, orbited the Earth on October 4, 1957. It was the world's first artificial satellite to be launched into space.
The Soviet Union was the first country to orbit the Earth when it launched the satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957.

April 12, 1961, which is now known as Cosmonaut's Day. Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth once, in a flight which took about 90 minutes. This made him the first human in space, and the first human to orbit the earth.
No animal has orbited the moon other than man. Dogs and monkeys have orbited the earth.
He wasn't. Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth - once - in 1961, a year before Glenn's flight.
The first Russian satellite, Sputnik 1, orbited the Earth on October 4, 1957. It was the world's first artificial satellite to be launched into space.
It was Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. He orbited the Earth once during a 108 minute flight on 12 April 1961.
The Soviet Union was the first country to orbit the Earth when it launched the satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957.
Sputnik 1 - launched October 4 1957 (orbited until January 4, 1958)
