First person of NASA who enters to space 🚀 *-----* The first American to enter space was Alan Shepard. He became the first American astronaut to travel to space on May 5, 1961, aboard the spacecraft Freedom 7, which was part of the Mercury-Redstone 3 mission. This historic flight lasted only about 15 minutes, during which Shepard experienced weightlessness and reached an altitude of approximately 187.5 kilometers (116.5 miles) above the Earth's surface. His achievement marked a significant milestone in the early days of human space exploration and the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. *--------* YouTube link: https://youtu.be/0FfkHRgycEk
