I was in B. 37 at Johnson Space Center in the Medical Science Division.  About 50 of us who worked in the building were watching the launch on TV as we did every launch.  I had built an experiment box for one of the crewmembers to use. It was a space motion sickness experiment.  The person seated in front of me said "oh no, that's not right" prior to the "explosion".  About 5 seconds later, it broke up.  It wasn't really an explosion by strict definition.  The pressurized crew cabin seperated and it fell into the ocean after reaching about 57000 feet.  It broke up most likely on impact.  The person sitting in front of me noticed the anomalous plume and knew something was terribly wrong.  One of the crewmembers family lives behind me, 2 houses over.  \n\nI am answering this question in a non-official capacity of course, but I have to say it.

The Tunguska Event.\n\nA huge non-nuclear, sub atomic explosion in the skis over Siberia. \n\nThe theories around the cause of the explosion are varied;\n\nStray Anti-Matter particle.\nComet/ Meteor overheating and exploding on entry.\nSolar Particle disruption caused by mass sunspot activity.\nBy product of a Solar Mass Ejection event. \nA Primordial Black hole.\n\nOne theory I read stated that according to the "math" the instantaneous opening and collapse of a wormhole would release the same amount of energy.\n\nAny way, it happened in 1906, but a "rescue" mission wasn't sent for 10 years because at the time that part of Siberia was so remote they had to build railways roads and bridges to get there.

The Soviet Sputnik program consisted of four satellites, three of which reached Earth orbit. \n\nSputnik 1, launched on Oct.4, 1957, became the first artificial satellite to successfully orbit the Earth. It was a metallic sphere about 2 feet across, weighing 184 lbs (84 kg), with long "whiskers" pointing to one side, and stayed in orbit for 6 months before falling back to Earth. Its rocket booster, weighing 4 tons, also reached orbit and was easily visible from the ground. \n\nThe second Sputnik satellite was launched on Nov 3, 1957 and carried a dog, named Laika, into space. Biological data was returned for a week before the animal had to be put to sleep. \n\nThe last Sputnik installment was intended to be a space laboratory for study of Earth's magnetic field and radiation belt. After its launch on May 15, 1958, it remained in orbit for nearly two years. \n\nThe Sputnik missions all happened during the midst of the Cold War between the U.S.S.R. and the United States. Americans became worried about the Soviet accomplishments and soon the development of space technology became a national priority. \n\n4 more details get 2 dese links;\nhttp://www.batnet.com/mfwright/sputnik.html\nhttp://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blsatellite.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_1\nhttp://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9069273\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0843738.html

October 4, 1957 by the Soviet Union. Sputnik means 'Satellite' in Russian.

It's a russian named valeri v. poliakov. He was in the MIR space station and got stuck up there because the russian govt. didn't have the money to send a spaceship up there and bring him back down. So he stayed up there for 437 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes, and 17 seconds. Enjoy.

She died in space.\n\nThere was no safe way to return her to earth.\n\nHere are some details.....\n\nOn November 3, 1957, the U.S.S.R. stunned the world with a space sensation -- the launch of Sputnik 2 with a live dog on-board. \nAfter a successful launch, Sputnik 2 exhausted its electrical batteries after six days in orbit. With all systems dead, the spacecraft continued circling the Earth until April 14, 1958, when it reentered the atmosphere after 2,570 orbits. \n\nIt has been suggested she either died due to lack of oxygen or when the cabin over heated.

Yuri Gagarin in Vostok I.  Amusing point: To prevent Gagarin from assuming manual control, the control stick was locked.  This was pretty typical of the early Soviet missions, the humans on board were more payload than pilots.  It was even worse for the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, she wasn't even given controls.

I believe it was Sputnik

First Satellites in orbit.\nFirst Man in orbit.\nFirst woman in orbit.\nFirst probes to Mars (many missions, all unsuccesfull).\nFirst probes to Venus (only pictures of Venus surface).\nThe Mir space station.\nThe first docking of USSR & American modules in space.\nMoon Satelites & probes.\nMany flights to the International Space Station including something like 5 of the last 6 crew transfers, and 12 or more unmaned supply vehicles.\nHundereds of satelite launches.\n\nSo much more...

no one lost in space- so far as we know. Russians and chinese are not known for their free press...\n\nrescue in space? depends how the guy would fall and how much extra fuel did the rescue crew have. It might be more economical to leave him be and instead of turning back- pick him up on the next orbit. But it really is a case of vectors and velocities also available space (eg close to the atmosphere) and how much air (etc) the guy has.

The Russians were the first to put a satellite into space (Sputnik 1).  The Americans were the second to put a satellite into space a year later in 1958 (Explorer 1).

they didn't 1969. Sure think about it - how could they have? It was just a conspiricy to show up russians because they had got a man in space. That was the great thing that happened. The first real person on the moon was not until 1974.

It was Columbia. It was first launched into space 04/12/81 It was the First Flight (STS-1) of the space shuttle program, now on hiatus after the rentry destruction of Columbia.\n\nThere was an earlier test orbiter called Enterprise. It was the prototype and was used to many tests but never actually made it into orbit. This orbiter now resides at McDonnell Space Hangar at the new National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport in northern Virginia.
