Editing Human Spaceflight

'''Human spaceflight''' (or manned spaceflight or crewed spaceflight) is space travel with [[humans]] on the [[spacecraft]]. When a spacecraft is manned, it can be piloted directly, as opposed to machine or robotic [[space probes]] controlled remotely by humans or through automatic methods on board the spacecraft.

-'''Human spaceflight''' (also referred to as '''crewed spaceflight''' or '''manned spaceflight''') is [[spaceflight|space travel]] with a [[Astronaut|crew]] or passengers aboard the [[spacecraft]]. Spacecraft carrying people may be operated directly, by human crew, or it may be either remotely operated from ground stations on Earth or be autonomous, able to carry out a specific mission with no human involvement.

-The [[Vostok 1|first human spaceflight]] was launched by the Soviet Union on April 12, 1961 as a part of the [[Vostok program]], with [[cosmonaut]] [[Yuri Gagarin]] aboard. Humans have been continuously present in space for 18 years and 149 days on the [[International Space Station]].  All early human spaceflight was crewed, where at least some of the passengers acted to carry out tasks of piloting or operating the spacecraft.  After 2015, several human-capable spacecraft are being explicitly designed with the ability to operate autonomously.
-[[Russia]] and [[China]] have human spaceflight capability with the [[Soyuz program]] and [[Shenzhou program]]. In the [[United States]], [[SpaceShipTwo]] reached the edge of space in 2018; this was the first crewed spaceflight from the USA since the [[Space Shuttle]] retired in 2011. Currently, all expeditions to the International Space Station use [[Soyuz]] vehicles, which remain attached to the station to allow a quick return if needed. The [[United States]] is developing commercial crew transportation to facilitate domestic access to ISS and low Earth orbit, as well as the [[Orion]] vehicle for beyond-low Earth orbit applications.
