The first manmade object known to have been placed in Earth orbit was Sputnik 1 - a Soviet satellite. However, the first manmade objects to enter space sub-orbitally were arguably German A4/V2 ballistic missiles. These were being developed and launched from the Baltic island of Peenemunde from before WW2 and several thousand were fired in action before the close of hostilities. The standard A4 missile reached altitudes in excess of 50 miles, long considered the threshold of "space". After WW2 the United States continued to launch them experimentally from White Sands missile range. They created a two stage version, the "Bumper" which climbed to even greater altitudes and would be the safest contender for this title of first manmade object in space. Prior to 1950. It should be borne in mind that the question is rendered ambiguous by the fact that "space" has no distinct beginning. Whilst the International Space Station ( ISS ) orbits at about 200 miles altitude and most manned flight occurs there or lower, the upper regions of Earths atmosphere extend several thousand miles further! It is for this reason, resulting in subtle aerodynamic drag that such low orbits decay if the vehicle is not periodically boosted, as is the ISS by means of Russian Progress and Soyuz vehicles. It can therefore be argued that the earliest manmade objects in space were actually high altitude balloons. It is argued, moreover, that the first man in space was USAF colonel Joseph H. Kittinger, who made the highest human balloon ascent in history aboard Excelsior 3, from which he returned by parachute, on August 16th 1960. The highest parachute drop ever, wearing a space-suit and descending for several minutes before his chute could be opened.

What was the name of the biggest rocket built?
The largest Rocket ever built is called the Saturn V rocket and was used to send man to the moon from 1969 to 1972. Built by German engineer Whener Von Braun, the rocket measures 110,6 meters tall. Incomparison to the space shuttle, the shuttle with its external tank and solid rocket boosters attached measure only 56 meters tall. However NASA does have plans to create a new rocket, the Ares V which may be a couple of meters taller then the Saturn V rocket. The rocket is still in the conceptual stage, but may be used as a heavy weight launch vehicle in the near future.
