In 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain issued the Alhambra Decree, an edict expelling Jews from Spanish soil, except those willing to convert to Christianity.
On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space.
And three hours to reach the floor of the Atlantic.
(I used "three hours" with poetic licence , and not for historical accuracy)
Oh no he was not!
He might have been the first man into outer space though - I`ll give yer that one!
Mind you if outer space is still space and inner space is still space then yes you were correct, so I`ll give you it back 
Who do you think the first man in inner space was then and what is inner space?Mind you if outer space is still space and inner space is still space then yes you were correct, so I`ll give you it back
The first man in Inner Space was Dennis Quaid.
The term is actually 'sub orbital space'.
Being in space is recognised as the Karman Line at 100km altitude.
Alan Shepherd was the first to go further at 187km very briefly, just before Gagarin made it to 'low Earth orbit'
Alan Sheppherd. Second man in space according to all experts except Ellal.
Well we were always told that space is where we are now (on the planet Earth) once we leave it is Outer space .

Hmmm, well we were always told that space is where we are now (on the planet Earth, all around us) and outer space is once we go up a few miles.
On that basis, would you say the Wright brothers were the first in space?
Maybe one day you'll learn to read the post and educate yourself...
On second thoughts, that's not exactly your strong point is it
