Who was the first man to enter the space flight?
First MANNED SPACE FLIGHT
The first MANNED SPACE FLIGHT is alleged to have been made by a Russian named Alexis Ledovski in 1957. According to reports of the US House of Representatives Space Committee and the USAF Air Research and Development Command, Ledovski was launched from the Soviet missile test centre 60 miles south-east of Stalingrad and reached a height of over 200 miles before all communication with him ceased. The spacecraft could either have been carried beyond the pull of the Earth’s gravity into outer space, or could have been burnt up on re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Other astronauts reputed to have lost their lives in unsuccessful space-shots prior to 1961 have been named as Serentsy Schilborin (1958), Andrei Mitkov (1959) and Ivan Kachur (1960). The first space fatality admitted by the Russians occurred on 24 April 1967, when Col Viadamir Mikhailovich Komarov died during the descent of Soyuz I.
