Manned space flight is a voyage into space with a human passenger on board.
Milestones in Manned Flight is a set of pewter coins issued by Trans World Airlines in the sixties. It consists of 6 coins in a plastic frame. The coins are as follows: Leonardo DaVinci; Stephan Joseph Montgolfer, wilber & Orville Wright, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and the last, Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins. The first five have engravings of the person or person names and the last shows a spaceship. I own a set of these which I received as a gift when I was a "TWA Girl Friday" in the sixties.

The idea of manned flight has been around for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful powered flight by a manned vehicle.
The first manned space flight took place in 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft.
