Astronauts do not become an astronaut until they complete their training and perform a successful spaceflight higher than 100 kilometers. Using that criteria, the first astronaut was Alan B. Shepard, who flew Freedom 7 on a suborbital flight on May 5, 1961.
Why do you think the first astronaut in space only orbited Earth instead of heading directly to the Moon?
Actually the first US astronaut in space (Alan Shepard) did NOT orbit--he only had a 15-minute sub-orbital flight. The first US astronaut to orbit Earth was John Glenn. In any event, neither of them could have gone to the moon because at that time we simply did not have the technology to send them there.
