We human beings have been venturing into space since October 4, 1957, when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. This happened during the period of political hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States known as the Cold War.
On April 12, 1961, the USSR opened the era of crewed spaceflight, with the flight of the first cosmonaut , Yuri Gagarin. Gagarin's flight, part of the Soviet Vostok space exploration program, took 108 minutes and consisted of a single orbit of the Earth.
Fun fact :
An astronaut is specifically an individual who is from the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe, and who travels into space. Soviet and Russian individuals who have been trained to go into space are called "cosmonauts".
