Yuri Gagarin was launched into space on April 12, 1961 in a spacecraft called Vostok 1. He made a complete orbit around the Earth in 108 minutes before coming back down. After the Soviet Union’s major success with sending a human into space, President John F.

The project’s main objective was to send the first American into space. NASA selected a small group of people from the Navy, Air Force, and the Marines as candidates to send into space. NASA eventually chose Alan Shepard to be their main candidate and on May 5, 1961, he became the first American to be in space.
