MANNED SPACEFLIGHT REACHING EARTH ORBIT

Listed below are the 140 people that journeyed into Earth orbit during the years 2000 to 2004. This includes 44 first time trips to orbit and 96 return trips from people that already went there before.

Spelling of all non-English names is arbitrary, and may not conform with other reference works. Nicknames may or may not be used here, titles are not used. The focus is on tracking the numbers of the people and not on worrying about the etiquette of addressing them. Many of these people are holders of medical degrees, military ranks and academic doctorates, but no attempt is being made to track that sort of information here.

Comments also show other space related events, so as to provide a more complete timeline.

The first column shows the count of each new visitor to orbit, the second shows the count on repeat visitors, and the third column shows the total count on trips to orbit.
