orbit is a different question than space. at what point are you considering earth to end, and space begin or visa versa. it is not quite cut and dry. before the astronauts, Colonel Joe Kittinger jumped from a foil balloon exelsior III from over 100,000 (stratosphere?) feet and fell for over 4 minutes breaking the sound barrier with his body. he paved the way for all of the space programs, without him would not exist.

Salt, I was going for the more recognized feat of taking off in a rocket and blating insto space. Most people think it is John Glenn.
Another easy question, who was the second man on the moon?
Buzz Aldrin but I'm from houston, so it is a little more personal here.

So we are doing great so far, now for a hard question. Who was the guy that went up with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but did NOT step on the moon?
That would be Michael Collins.

Salty, very good!
Well I am out of astronaut trivia.
Airforce, the person stepping on the moon is Neil Armstrong and who took the picture is the camerman in the soundstage. Although they had to wait for 15 mintues because it was union break time when they finally got it set up right.

Google John punching the reporter that was accusing him of faking the landing.
Awesome when a young jerk tries to bully an older man and gets owned. Down with single punch and hes in his 70's at the time.
