List of spaceflight records
What you were postulating here is something that doesn't make sense at all - it's like saying a plane's destination is Vegas when it's just flying over there for New York. 2001:E68:5400:F209:D47D:9657:76E1:FBE6 (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * No, what I'm saying is that a "record" for "the first person to make a suborbital flight" is only sensible if at the time of that flight noone has made an even further orbital flight. If Shepard came first, it would be a milestone in the progress of human development of spaceflight. But it is not. Gagarian made a sub-orbital flight and then extended further by going into orbit. The terminology of the first line of both tables makes it seem as if Sheperd went beyond Gagarin, whereas he did not.
 * My analogy still stands in this case - as demonstrated by your second attempt and uhh reversion by a more experienced editor. 113.210.106.214 (talk) 18:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
