Helen Sharman

[edit]

It seems that the information about Sharman either needs to be deleted or rephrased. Both Tereshkova and Savitskaya are Europeans. Sharman wasn't the first European woman in space at all. I'm not sure if Ride's presence is substantiated either. Is her nationality a reasonable base to include her here? Writing a paragraph about the first American woman in space requires writing about first women in space from every other nation since the US is not a country above others.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the paragraph about Glen should also be deleted since the title is First man in space. I can't see the point of writing about the second American in orbit here. Uostofchuodnego (talk) 21:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First attempt at space flight

[edit]

I believe the first attempt at space flight was by 3 black gentlemen in Baltimore in the year 1928, they seem to have built a rocket ship of sorts though sources differ as to how high it flew or it's intended destination on their first launch, it's worth noting that this attempt was not government sponsored. As the first manned attempt at spaceflight I think this should be recorded in Wikipedia and I'm greatly disappointed none of the men in these article nor their attempt at space flight isn't included anywhere in Wikipedia as far as I know.
