Manned spaceflight

Manned spaceflight refers to missions where astronauts travel into space aboard spacecraft. This exploration began with the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, in 1961. Manned missions aim to study space, conduct experiments, and advance technology. Notable programs include NASA's Apollo, which landed humans on the Moon, and the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts live and work in low Earth orbit. Manned spaceflight enhances our understanding of the universe, promotes international cooperation, and inspires future generations. It involves significant scientific, engineering, and safety challenges, as human life must be protected in the harsh environment of space.
