Rocket Launches in 1964
Spaceflight in 1964: Voskhod 1 carries three cosmonauts in October, the first spacecraft with more than one person aboard, so cramped that the crew flies without spacesuits. Earlier in the year Ranger 7 sends back the first close-up pictures of the Moon before impact, and Syncom 3 becomes the first geostationary satellite, relaying the Tokyo Olympics to American television.
