Although most people think John Glenn was the first man in space ÿhe was actually the fifth. He was the first American to go into orbit. An interesting sidelight is that of all the Americans who went ÿinto space he has logged the least space flight time. America has launched 56 ÿmanned space flights logging 483 days. ÿThe 132 astronauts have logged 1522 man days in space. The manned space program was halted after the Challenger tragedy but is scheduled to resume in February, 1988. Compiled by Bruce T.

In the first 54 flights 1,494 days were logged. 3,137 man days were logged in space. Soyuz 29/31, ÿ31/29, 32/34, 35/37, 36/35 and 37/36 ÿwere all started in ÿone ÿcapsule and ended in a different one. ÿThis ÿwas ÿdone ÿby docking ÿwith ÿthe Salyut space station. ÿWhen a crew with a ÿshort mission joined the residents of the Salyut station, ÿthey would swap capsules so that no capsule would be in space for a very long time. Soyuz 2 and 20 were unmanned. Soyuz 34 ÿwas also unmanned but its mission was to replace Soyuz 32, so its cosmonauts would have a fresh capsule to return in. Soyuz ÿ18A ÿwas aborted before achieving orbit and was ÿreplaced ÿby Soyuz 18B. ? = Unknown Compiled by Bruce T.
