Manned spaceflight

More than 60 years of manned spaceflight since Juri Gagarin's epic journey into low Earth orbit on 12 April 1961 have seen 576 humans flying aboard spaceships ranging from simple capsules to complex orbiters, and then back to reliable capsules. We shall see what the future brings with SpaceX's Starship on the horizon.
As of January 2022, the following manned space missions have been recorded:

The Space Traveller Log, in three parts, provides an overview of all men and women who ventured into space whether for just one day, a full trip to the moon, or a months-long stay aboard one of the Space Stations orbiting our planet.

The current sixth generation of active spacecraft comprises:

SpaceX Crew Dragon (USA), since 2019
Soyuz MS (Russia), since 2016
Shenzou (China), since 2003
Boeing Starliner (USA), still to perform a successful demonstration flight as of November 2021

The third to fifth generation space systems that have been retired included:

Space Shuttle (USA), 1981-2011
Soyuz TMA/TMA-M, Soyuz TM and Soyuz T (Russia / Soviet Union), 1980-2016

The first and second generation spacecraft that, among other things achieved the moon landings as well as a set of successful dockings with early space stations became the pioneers of manned space travel:

Mercury, Gemini and Apollo (USA), 1961-1975
Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz (Soviet Union), 1961-1981

Before the first US space travellers managed to orbit Earth, they briefly hopped into space on Suborbital astronaut wings flights aboard the famous, rocket-powered X-15 research aircraft, and early Mercury missions. Eventually back in 2004, first test flights of the privately-funded SpaceShipOne project, presumably paved the way for Space tourism in the 21st century.
