Trivia: In 1961, the first human entered space in what revolutionary vehicle?
Vostok 1
Challenger
Buran
Sputnik 1
The correct answer is Vostok 1
So why is this answer correct? : Piloted by Yuri Gagarin and invented by the Soviet Union, the Vostok 1 was the first vehicle to take a human into space on April 1, 1961. The vehicle’s reentry was remotely controlled until Gargain ejected and landed safely with a parachute. The 108-minute flight circled the Earth at more than 17,000 miles per hour. It ushered in a new era of space travel that only increased tensions during the space race.
