"The world's first manned spaceflight recognised by the world governing body, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), was that of Cosmonaut Flight Major Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (1934-68) in Vostok 1 on 12 April 1961. The whole thing lasted only 108 minutes from takeoff to touchdown."
"The world's first woman to orbit the Earth was Junior Lt. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, who was launched from Tyuratam, USSR in Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963 and landed again nearly three days later, in which time she completed 48 orbits."
"The world's largest crew on a single space mission was launched on space shuttle Challenger 9 STS 61A, the 22nd shuttle mission, on 30 October 1985. Eight crew members, including one woman, blasted off on a mission commanded by Hank Warren Hartsfield, which lasted just over seven days."
