List of human spaceflights chronologically
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of human spaceflights chronologically
Some debate exists over the definition of space (see boundary to space), and hence that of spaceflight. The US defines spaceflight as over an altitude of 50 miles while the FAI defines it as over 100 km. For human spaceflights this is relevant for the X-15; as of 2003, 13 of its flights met the US criteria and among them 2 the FAI's.
