YURI GAGARIN'S NAME, 1ST MAN INTO SPACE, REMOVED FROM CONFERENCE BECAUSE HE WAS RUSSIAN. OH, BROTHER. THE PETTINESS OF THE U.S. POLITICAL CLASS

Start here with NewsWars' "Russian Cosmonaut Warns History Is Being Re-Written as Space Industry Conference Drops Yuri Gagarin's Name," Steve Watson, March 21, 2022.

Yuri Gagarin is the first man to travel in space, and he did so in 1961.  Sputnik was the first rocket into space.  It went up on October 4, 1957. 

The U.S.'s first manned space flight was on February 20. 1962 when John Glenn became the first American in orbit aboard Friendship 7 on a Mercury-Atlas rocket.  Whoa.  Here is a timeline of space flight accomplishments.
